I also have to note that the same package works fine on ArchLinux x64 systems.

Here a more verbose backtrace. This time I tried boost 1.54.0 beta1 but it 
still fails.

Following "patch" fixes the crash of libtorrent with python3 on x32 systems:
sed -i '/all_categories/s/0x7fffffff/0xfffffff/' include/libtorrent/alert.hpp

Now I'm able to import and use libtorrent on my 32-bit system :)

     }

Thanks for figuring this out!

Tested python bindings with libtorrent-rasterbar version 0.16.11 and it's fixed 
now, thank you!
