While running my app testsuite I have another one which crashed.

  I wanted to draw 55620 dots in a scatter plot, each with a legend and its associated color. Actually only 100 color are used and multiple adjacent dots in the series have same color as necessary.


Is this a matplotlib or a python error?

Impossible to know, but since everything in the traceback comes from matplotlib, the error is most likely in matplotlib.

Note that the same poster is also reporting memory corruption in issue 18843.  I suggest ignoring this one unless/until the earlier bug is resolved (memory corruption can easily cause a segfault - or any other kind of error).

I think this should be closed as extremely likely to be a matplotlib error.

As issue 18843 has evolved, seems more likely now that it's flaky HW, but agreed in any case there's really no evidence of a Python problem here.  So closing it.  Martin, we can revisit this if there's real progress on the other issue.

The issue could have been caused the malfunctioning memory or CPU.
