Title:
  python csv.reader completely hangs machine

Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  when reading a 200mb csv file into the csv.reader 3 times in a row hangs 11.04 linux completely. mouse not moving, fan 100%, the works.. 
  except from the default 11.04 python packages i installed numpy and wxtools. i have a 8gb machine and sometimes the python process gets killed with an 'out of memory' error, but sometimes it hangs the machine. this happens more often when i have over half the memory in use before starting the csv import.
