Greetings,<br><br>I&#39;m unfortunately having problems with segfaults on my server. The server runs CentOS, with python version 2.4.3. After installing &amp; setting up Galaxy, there have been an increasing number of segfaults thrown by multiple processes. Originally there were 2 distinct tools (which were run by Galaxy) that had thrown segfaults, *and* Galaxy&#39;s own python process was throwing segfaults as well. This is happening with increasing frequency.<br>

Most recently python is throwing the segfault (and galaxy dies) before we can even run any tools. Syslog eg:<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">May 18 13:29:12 florence kernel: python[10657]: segfault at 00002aab33ff1000 rip 00000033a427bf0b rsp 000000004942ac38 error 6</span><br>

<br>Notes:<br>1) We ran a full spectrum of hardware diagnostics which found no problems.<br>2) This morning while in the process of troubleshooting, I rebooted the server. Galaxy started as a service, and <i>threw another segfault shortly after instantiating</i> - long before anyone could have interacted with the server. This leads me to believe the problem is python related.<br>

<br>I plan to upgrade python, possibly go through some core dumps, etc. However before going any further, I wanted to see if any had experience with a similar problem. Any information is appreciated.<br><br>Thanks very much,<br>
