 Hello,

 When I write anything to std::cerr in my library that's written using
 Boost.Python and linked to OpenGL (-lGL), a segfault occurs. This even
 occurs when you have no OpenGL usage, but link OpenGL to your simplest
 "hello world" library. Here is the discussion on gmane.comp.python.c++
 with additional information:

 And here are two other occurrences of this exact problem in similar
 situations, which pin this problem to the Boost.Python, OpenGL and
 std::cerr combination:

 There is no problem in fprintf(stderr, ). I would be happy to assist
 fixing this bug. I'm attaching the modified
 libs/python/example/quickstart/extending.cpp from the boost 1.34.0 source
 tree. This is how I linked it:

 "g++"    -o "bin/gcc-4.1.2/debug/extending.so" -Wl,-h -Wl,extending.so
 -shared -Wl,--start-group "bin/gcc-4.1.2/debug/extending.o"
 "../../../../bin.v2/libs/python/build/gcc-4.1.2/debug/libboost_python-
 gcc41-d-1_34.so.1.34.0" -L/usr/local/lib -lGL  -lutil -lpthread -ldl -Wl,
 --end-group -g

 I got this using bjam -ofile and added -lGL to it. The order of -l flags
 did not make a difference.
