Initially, lxml would segfault for me. NudgeNudge being a toy project, I 
didn't have the time to investigate further and it worked on Linux. I 
was sprinting with Ian Bicking on this project and when I got the OSX 
segfault, he told me that it was a common thing to occur on that 
platform. I assumed it was a known issue.

Since a few weeks ago, I changed the setup of the application (Gary: 
from zope.app.twisted to paste.deploy served) which magically made the 
problem go away on OSX...
