I had it setup like this as you know, I just tried to skip any module 
loading problem and to simplify it as much as I could.

I've a tail -f to the apache log file in a secondary console anyways.

--- newversion.py -----------
from mod_python import apache
from mod_python import psp

def handler(req):
     content_file = psp.PSP(req, string='hello world')
     content_file.run()
     return apache.OK
-----------------------------


It still segfaults. I'm running it on a debian box, but I remember 
experiencing this same problem months ago in another different server 
(both hardware and distro, it was gentoo 2004). Please, can anyone check 
if this happens to you too? I find it hard to believe it's 
dharana-specific if it happens in two completely different servers.
