[vtk-developers] Sgi and Python fun

Hello,

This is actually more of a bug report for Python, but here we go, if you
have Python 2.1.3 build on Sgi, try dividing 1.0 with 10:

>>> 1.0 / 10

Looks like Sgi's optimizer is being too good at optimizing and does not
know how to handle this. In any case, if you are using VTK/Pyhon on Sgi
and are getting strange runtime crashes, this might be a problem.

The solution so far is to use newer Python or to build Python without
optimization.
