Seq fault when hashing files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ipythoh
In [1]: from ssdeep import ssdeep
In [2]: s = ssdeep()
In [3]: h1 = s.hash_file('ssdeep-2.5.tar.gz')
Segmentation fault
stfu:external ril3y$ 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see seg fault.  I expected to see the hash for the ran file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS: OSX Snow Leopard
ssdeep version binary: 2.5 
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29) 

Perhaps this is an OSX thing but I thought I should let you know.  Let me know 
if you would like to know anything else.
