Strange problem with Quixote [solved]

I have two machines, both running Arch linux and both upgrading from the same repositories.  I have installed the same Quixote (from the website) python package on both, using the same method.  On the desktop, Quixote works fine, however, on the server, it seg faults.  The server is where I need Quixote running though.

I ran strace on the server and this is what it gives me:

close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0xb765d000, 131072)              = 0
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY)            = 4
fcntl64(4, F_GETFD)                     = 0
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=6076, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 131072, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb765d000
read(4, "#n# /etc/hosts: static lookup ta"..., 131072) = 6076
close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0xb765d000, 131072)              = 0
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY)            = 4
fcntl64(4, F_GETFD)                     = 0
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=6076, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 131072, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb765d000
read(4, "#n# /etc/hosts: static lookup ta"..., 131072) = 6076
close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0xb765d000, 131072)              = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Process 29208 detached

I don't have a clue where to start looking on this one.

[edit]

was a corrupt host file that wasn't showing the corruption in vim
