I believe I hit the same bug, using extract on a polymorphic type.

In the old code (which segfaults), I used make_constructor, passing object to
it, and using 
extract.

In the new code (which does not segfault), I don't use make_constructor, just
use bp::init.  My segfault 
is gone.  Maybe just luck?

This particular code uses inheritance (I rarely use it).  It looks something
like:


BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(constellation) {

  boost::numpy::initialize();

  class_<constellation<double>, boost::noncopyable > ("constellation_base",
no_init)
    .def ("__call__", &apply_constellation<double>)
    .def ("hard_decision", &apply_hard_decision<double>)
    .add_property ("size", &constellation<double>::size)
    .add_property ("gain", &constellation<double>::gain)
    ;

  class_<QAMconstellation<double> , bases<constellation<double> > >
("QAMconstellation", no_init)
    .def ("__init__", make_constructor (qam_from_object<double>))
    .add_property ("map", &get_map)
    .def_pickle(const_pickle_suite<double>())
    ;
