Comment (by fperez):

 I can't reproduce the problem, and as Stefan mentioned, ipython simply can
 not cause segfaults by itself, since it has no C code, nor does it call
 any via ctypes.

 What is most likely going on is that you are seeing a problem in a C
 extension module loaded by ipython from the Python standard library.  The
 most probable culprit is the readline module.

 Either that, or you have a buggy build of Python itself for some reason.

 I don't want to sound unhelpful, but unfortunately this problem is caused
 by something in your underlying Python installation, NOT by ipython
 itself.  IPython is only uncovering the problem, not causing it.
