Yes. I am currently recovering from this.

Update your system. I believe that this is a result of a kernel bug in
the semaphore code that causes python to crash. I am afraid the ONLY
fix is to update the OS to CURRENT, although its likely that the fix has
been made to RELENG5_2. If you are running 5.2-Release, I'd try that
first.
