When using the libs/binary I built my self it let me see the values of the PyObjects around the crash and it seems like it is related to our modules and/or how we expose them to the interpreter. When disabling our own modules everything seems to be working as it should.

Interesting. So somewhere along the way, you have native code (C
code?) that's creating a module, and that's where the trouble starts?
I would first look at all your refcount management; if that goes
wrong, all sorts of craziness could happen (if you still have a
pointer to a block of memory that gets released and reused, hilarity
will ensue - or, something will). Have you considered using Cython?
That might let you do what you need without worrying about all those
annoying internal API details.
