A bit of a blast from the past, but...

I apt-get upgraded my Debian Sid installation to the latest status,
but this crash still occurs.

An interim solution (until debian updates python-sip4) is to download
and install the package from Karmic:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/fi/karmic/python-sip4

For reference, this crash is reported e.g. here:
