Quick update: apparently, fixing another seemingly unrelated bug, fixed this crashing issue as well for rlibiez. Here's relevant the commit:

https://github.com/amorilia/pyffi/commit/bd7886eefedfce8fb108c4701cf0467e2a707907

Basically, the problem was with multiprocessing.Pools not getting closed and joined.

I'm attaching a script (poolcrash.py) which, theoretically, ought to reproduce the crash - although it doesn't quite reproduce it on my machine; I'm running out of memory and my machine just hangs desperately accessing the swap file before anything happens...

Beware that running the bugged script may force you perform a hard reboot of your system, particularly if you wait until all physical memory is used up by zombie processes.
