segfault with sqlite-3.5.2

Hello,

for the first time in my life, I need to compile the sqlite/pysqlite
combo from scratch, because the Red Hat Linux 9 server (i686, kernel
2.4.20-31.9smp), where I want to use them is not under my control and I
cannot install binary packages there.

Compiling sqlite 3.5.2 went smoothly and all tests run fine. I ran the
configure script without any additional options.
 
Building pysqlite 2.3.5 also produces no errors. Installation works.

When trying to run the tests, I immediately get a segmentation fault:

Python 2.4.4 (#2, Nov 16 2007, 10:59:28)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pysqlite2 import test
>>> test.test()
........................................................................
........
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


gdb output is the following:

$gdb /usr/local/python/bin/python

(gdb) core core.1718

Do you have any hints how I could solve the problem and get a working
pysqlite? 

I would like to use it to run trac through an apache2 mod_python.

Many thanks in advance
