 I have debugged this during the weekend a bit but it seems that during
closing the document we crash. I'm not sure yet why but will need to spend
a bit more time next weekend in looking at the problem. I don't have time

For system python you need to set PYTHONPATH and URE_BOOTSTRAP either in
the script or in your terminal. If called through the makefiles our build
system already sets the values correctly.
