[Matplotlib-users] Segmentation faults with show() in ipython

Hi All,
some time ago I lost the ability to plot anything from within ipython. 
For example ...

In [1]:from pylab import *

In [2]:plot(range(20),range(20))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceptions.SystemError                               Traceback (most 
recent call last)


SystemError: Objects/moduleobject.c:48: bad argument to internal function
Segmentation fault

The above occurs both with "ipython -pylab" and also "ipython" with the 
ahow() command at the end.  Thankfully everything works with the vanilla 
python interpreter.

Its possible that this became broken after changing my OS to Redhat EL4. 
  Updating to the SVN version of ipython has not helped.
I have python 2.3.4, and matplotlib 0.83.2

Has anyone seen anything like this?
Any advice?

Cheers,
Cory.
