[Boost-users] [Python] exec_file double delete

Hello,

Working with Boost 1.58, I am using Boost.Python to interpret python 
code. eval() and exec() are working as expected, however exec_file 
results on a double delete upon finishing reading the script. This can be 
observed in the following minimal:

#include <boost/python.hpp>

int main()
{
    Py_Initialize();
    boost::python::exec_file("foo.py");
}

where foo.py contains a single line:

print "hello"

hello is printed on the screen - i.e. the script is completed before the 
crash.
Valgrind also finds a number of invalid reads in the exec_file line 
before an invalid free/delete.

Is there something I'm missing in exec_file usage, or do you think there 
might be a mismatch of dependencies? (using boost and python both from my 
package manager). Thank you,

Albert
