 Hi there,

 On RHEL 6, default instalation on a ppc64 lpar:

 I've installed augeas-libs (the shipped one, 0.7.2; And a custom-built one
 based on fedora's src.rpm, v. 0.7.4). Using python-augeas (either the last
 release, 0.3.0, or the version from git HEAD) gives me a {{{segfault}}}

 {{{
 import augeas
 ag = augeas.Augeas()
 ag.match('/files/etc/samba/smb.conf')
 }}}

 This already brings python's REPL down. Examining the coredump through gdb
 we can see that the issue is on {{{api_entry}}} while incrementing the
 API-access-counter:

 {{{
 #0  api_entry (aug=0x35ef6e0) at augeas.c:322
 322         ((struct augeas *) aug)->api_entries += 1;
 Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install
 python-2.6.5-3.el6.ppc64
 (gdb) bt
 #0  api_entry (aug=0x35ef6e0) at augeas.c:322
 #1  0x00000fff9c531a24 in aug_match (aug=0x35ef6e0, pathin=0xfff9c6bb90c
 "/files/etc/samba/smb.conf/*", matches=0xfffa2e7db50) at augeas.c:1031
 }}}

 The {{{aug}}} struct in unaccessible from the frame.

 While using {{{libaugeas0}}} on a SLES11 (version 0.5) system the provided
 snippet works properly.
