Deepstream 6.3 python apps , deepstream_test4/ Segmentation fault (core dumped)

When I run this Deepstream Python App:

/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.3/sources/deepstream_python_apps/apps/deepstream_test4/deepstream_test_4.py

I get this fault:

cpp:328:notifyLoadModelStatus: [UID 1]: Load new model:/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.3/sources/deepstream_python_apps/apps/deepstream_test4/dstest4_pgie_config.txt sucessfully
Frame Number = 0 Vehicle Count = 9 Person Count = 4
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can get the program to run if I block out

#MAX_TIME_STAMP_LEN = 32

in the program. But then I get this error:

and update params for drawing rectangle, object information etc.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

a) probe() callbacks are synchronous and thus holds the buffer

(info.get_buffer()) from traversing the pipeline until user return.

b) loops inside probe() callback could be costly in python.

So users shall optimize according to their use-case.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks

Have you made any changes to the code? If there are any, you can just attach your diffs.
Could you use the gdb tool for preliminary analyze of the crash?
