It certainly does, but before I apply this as a fix, could you please
post a small, self-contained example that causes the crash?  Because
the canonical  embedding example shipped with the code, such as

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ipython/ipython/trunk/annotate/laurent%40pep-20080602230050-mxp3d0pv8ws41m3o?file_id=exampleembed.py-20080216095032-xb0is4a97lmosv2z-196

Runs fine here.
