This doesn't happen if you just do the second round, only if you do both.
`python -c "print round(1.123456, 3); print round(1.123756, 3)"` doesn't segfault.

Doesn't segfault on brew's python:

The crash report indicates that the operating system is a OS X 10.9 Developer Preview (which is under NDA at the moment) and that you are using the python2.7.3 from the python.org 64-bit/32-bit 2.7.3 installer.  The readline module include with that installer dynamically links with the OS-provided libedit.dylib for terminal editing functions in the interactive interpreter. I can also reproduce a similar crash using the python.org 3.3.2 installer and just by entering "print('a')" twice; no need to use round(). The problem is not reproducible on current OS X 10.8 systems. Almost certainly this is due to some incompatible change in libedit.dylib.  You should open an issue with Apple reporting the compatibility problem.  The Homebrew Python most likely is linked with its own copy of the GNU readline library rather than the system libedit.

I propose to close this issue because this is likely a bug in a beta version of OSX and that's not something we'll try to work around in the python sources.

Ok, closing it. Should the issue resurface in the final release of the system, please submit a new bug report (possibly linking to it here).
