New issue 42 by nazarenk...@gmail.com: Maya 2011 crashes
http://code.google.com/p/cortex-vfx/issues/detail?id=42

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I've compiled cortex 6 without problem
But maya always crashed when I run script:
cfr = IECore.FrameRange( 1, 50 )
cfs = IECore.FileSequence( "/tmp/myCaches/cache.######.fio", cfr ) - this
line always crashed maya

if I run this lines under pure python, it runs without problems.

os: CentOS 5.5
maya: 2011
cortex: 6.0.0
boost: 1.41

This is probably the same maya problem as is discussed here :

As you're on linux you'd need to set LD_PRELOAD rather than
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, or you could avoid loading the fbx plugin instead.

I think John is on the right track, but it may also be worth trying boost
1.42.0. We found that boost 1.41 wasn't compatible with python 2.6 (used in
Maya 2010 and beyond). While I don't recall the exact details, it had to do
with python 2.6 and boost filesystem not playing well together. Are all the
unit tests passing for you using boost 1.41?
