[Visualpython-users] segfault on Ubuntu 10.04

A program of mine segfaults on Kubuntu 10.04  I've extracted the offending
code:

#----------------------------------
from visual import *
sphere()
scene.range = scene.range * 3.
#-----------------------------------


If I remove the line containing scene.range the original program works fine.
I'm using python-visual from the Ubuntu repository.
Can someone else try it?  I'd be especially interested to know if it crashes
using the respository version, but works using Bruce's home-made version.

thanks,
gary
