accessing a closed samfile causes segmentation fault

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
python
import pysam
samfile = pysam.Samfile( "ex1.bam", "rb" )
for alignedread in samfile.fetch('chr1', 100, 120):
     print alignedread

samfile.close()
for alignedread in samfile.fetch('chr1', 100, 120):
     print alignedread

What is the expected output? 
should throw exception for trying to use a closed file.
"ValueError: I/O operation on closed file"                                      

like python files

What do you see instead?
... ... Segmentation fault
