Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked

OS: Windows 2000 Server (Service Pack 4)
Python: 2.3.1 (#47)
pycurl: 7.10.6

I got this Fatal Error while fetching Webpages with pycurl.
I do not have any other addiotional information.

This error is reproducible and did not occur with
Python2.2.

Please contact me, if you need further information

Why do you think this is a bug in Python and not pycurl?

You should report this to the pycurl project.  The specific 
error message you report is new in Python 2.3, doing a check 
for errnoneous usage of the Python C API.  That check didn't 
exist in Python 2.2.

While it's possible there's a previously unreported error in 
Python 2.3 here, it's much more likely that the problem is in 
pycurl's C code, and that the error there simply went 
undetected before Python 2.3, appearing to work by luck.

Closed as (presumed) 3rd-party, won't fix.  There's been no 
followup for 3 months; no other report of this symptom has 
been filed; and someone on c.l.py today reported what 
appears to be exactly the same problem *again* coming from 
use of pycurl.  So all the evidence points to pycurl, and none 
so far to Python.
