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

latest code, Debian GNU/Linux 6.0, 32 bit

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm using this in a python wrapper. Everything worked fine with default debian 
python 2.6.6. Now I switched to 2.7.3 and rebuilt gdist.so, seems to work fine 
for lower vertices, but on a larger surface (~40.000 * 3 vertices) I get the 
above error. Any pointers would be a great help?

Segmentation Fault happens when calling (from our python wrapper):
GeodesicAlgorithmExact::propagate(vertex_source_array, 1e100, NULL)

If we decrease parameter max_propagation_distance to a reasonable small value, 
our call seems to be working:
GeodesicAlgorithmExact::propagate(vertex_source_array, 
max_propagation_distance=150, NULL)

Anything bigger than 170 for max_propagation_distance parameter produces erors.

The machine I am testing is a Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (Linux tvb-build-x86 
2.6.32-5-686-bigmem #1 SMP Mon Jan 16 16:42:05 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux) 2GB RAM.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening ? It works fine for Linux x64 
(similar configuration)
Any hint on how we could avoid this, or what's a good value for parameter 
max_propagation_distance would be of great help.
