Comment (by eu@…):

 I am bumping into this issue, having crash with this traceback

 {{{
   boost::python::converter::shared_ptr_deleter::operator()(void const*) ()
 // CRASH here
   boost::detail::sp_counted_base::release
   ~shared_count
 }}}

 It is a python-instantiated object which is deleted in c++ because its
 refcount drops to zero. I also confirm that locking the GIL solves the
 issue thanks for the tip). Would you mind sharing your workaround?

 Cheers!
