So this is the error that gdb shows me, do you think this is the kind of
thing that the "special" compile would clear up?

And I believe I understood the answer I got on IRC, but just want to
confirm... If I remove my standard build of python 2.4 and do the
special build of 2.5.4, I don't need to do anything more than bounce
freeswitch?  Or do I need to rebuild freeswitch so it builds mod_python
against my new version of python?

Thanks again, you guys have been quite helpful and responsive.  I'm
doubling what I'm paying you right now.  :)
