Bug Description

Binary package hint: strace

Crashed while tracing python. The traced program didn't stop though, but finished happily...
It was repeatable and I managed to minimize it thusly, with unpacked moin 1.8.2 tarball:

erno@hat:~/src/moin-1.8.2$ strace python -c 'from MoinMoin.request.request_cli import Request as RequestCLI'
[much output]
open("MoinMoin/events/MoinMoin.pyc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("MoinMoin/events", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 7
fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISGID|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
getdents(7, Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Doesn't crash without strace.
