Invalid Pointer Error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. from django.test.client import Client #Yes, I know, this isn't pyodbc.
2. c = Client()
3. response = c.post(logindir, loginvars)
4. response = c.get(getpage)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect nothing to crash, although I'm not sure what the output would be if it 
didn't.  See the attached file for the actual output, which is a glibc 
stacktrace from the crash.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

pyodbc-2.1.7 on Ubuntu 9.04

Please provide any additional information below.

As the only things in the stacktrace are the python interpreter itself, my tls 
library, and pyodbc, pyodbc seems like the most likely culprit, but I'm not 
certain how to verify that it is.

The invalid pointer error is at the top of the stacktrace, sorry for not making 
that clear.

If possible, can you test this with the v2unicode branch?

Most of the Linux & OS/X issues were due to incorrect handling of UCS4 which 
I've corrected on that branch.  As soon as I'm sure it has been tested enough, 
it will become 2.1.8.

Excellent!  I just downloaded 2.1.8 and tried it out, and it's definitely no 
longer crashing.  Thanks!
