I you are using a module which does XML processing and it is literally
crashing, look at what version of the expat libraries that are installed
on your system.

A problem that can occur is that Python embeds a version of expat within
its pyexpat module. If an incompatible version of expat is also linked
in as a shared library, a crash generally occurs.

To determine the version of expat embedded in Python, do from a command
line run Python:

>>> import pyexpat
>>> pyexpat.version_info
(1, 95, 6)

Ensure that the version of any expat shared library is at least newer
than that embedded into Python, or the same version if possible.
