 I don't have time to reduce this to a minimal test case, but the process
 for reproducing the failure is automated, so even though it takes a long
 time to run, it's not too much human effort.

 Start up a $10 Ubuntu 14.04 digital ocean box, and run the attached bash
 script.  Takes a couple of hours to complete.  The final python command
 either segfaults or gets killed for excessive memory usage.  Usually
 segfaults, in my experience.

 Here are the versions of all the git checkouts during the build process.

 root at testscript:~/voter_lookup# for p in `find /root -name .git -type d` ;
 do ( cd $p ; git log -1 --pretty=format:"%h $p" ) ; done
