The newest one. I also pushed the Visitor fix to the cython release branch
now so that you can try it from there. But there were other improvements in
cython-devel that will improve the compilation speed for your case (and I
can't push those to the stable bug-fix branch).

That's almost certainly due to the temp refactoring. Please report any
crashes you get, preferably with a short code snippet that shows the
problem, so that we can fix them.
