Hello, My thought would have been that the python bindings were making an incorrect call to the C library, however having done some experiments on it, it does appear like we are sending the correct things and so the call is correct. Also what I have done does seem to indicate that the issue is at the time of the call to the C library. I think it may need someone with greater knowledge of C and how to debug C libraries to sort this one out.
