I don't remember the details [1], but there are known conflicts between
recent versions of python3 and the way the notmuch python bindings
manage memory. So it could be that. There was also an initiative to
rewrite at (python3 only?) version of the bindings that did not have
this problem. I haven't heard much about that recently.
