[mod_python] psp.PSP(req, string='hello world') causes segfault

On slackware-10.1, python-2.4, Apache-2.0.53, modpython-3.1.4 I get:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mptest"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch
    result = object(req)

  File "/home/www/modpython/mptest.py", line 37, in handler
    return psptest(req)

  File "/home/www/modpython/mptest.py", line 43, in psptest
    content_file = psp.PSP(req, string='hello world')

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/psp.py", line 114, in __init__
    cached = strcache.get(string)

NameError: global name 'strcache' is not defined

Now searching google, finds this: 
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2004-May/015552.html
But even after making the change in psp.py... then I get a segfault and this in
apache's error.log:
