I have solved the xpath issue, and it's certainly not the apache thing:

from Weblog import Weblog
blog = Weblog('/home/roland/Syncato/config')
print blog.handleRequest('//character','','','')

That segfaults reliably. (character is an element that appears ~320 
times in the six documents I have).

I would be very appreciative if you could tell me if, after copying the 
documents http://mindlace.net/tmp/roland.tgz , and using the attached 
config file (changing paths accordingly), running the script above (in 
your dist/scripts/lib/ dir) gives you a segfault.

I really like xpath sans a named parameter - it makes it very elegant 
to make xpath requests.

Well, that'll teach you to make querulous blog entries.
