buffer overflow in system-config-httpd

[Robert G. (Doc) Savage]

system-config-httpd-1.4.6-1.fc12.noarch appears to be badly borked:

# system-config-httpd
*** buffer overflow detected ***; /usr/bin/python terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
... long backtrace ...
3743809000-374380a000 rw-p 00009000 08:02 353257               
/usr/lib64/libXcursor.so.1.0.2/usr/share/system-config-httpd/system-config/httpd: line 4: 
2922 Aborted                 (core dumped) /usr/bin/python
/usr/share/systemconfig-httpd/ApacheConf.py

Has anyone else noticed this and BZ'd it?

I don't see a newer version in fedora-testing and development has the
same version number.

I am unable to find any compiled extensions that this package loads.

As such, any resulting segfault in Python must therefore be a Python bug. No 
pure Python package should be responsible for segfaults in the python 
interpreter itself.

I've got an utterly useless abrt report filed against my pure python 
package. By "utterly useless" I mean only the segfault, with no backtrace of 
any kind whatsoever. I'm tempted to reassign it to python itself.

I've never used that utility.  So, I gave it a try.  It fails the same
way for me as well.
