Here is some more info.

and so on ...

The code in question looks the following:

...
template <class Key, class Value>
void setitem(object const& target, Key const& key, Value const& value)
{
     return setitem(target, object(key), object(value));
}
...

This causes an infinite recursion. As far as I know, boost.python should 
work on this platform, so does this ring a bell with anybody?
