Sven,

Python is not raising a bus error, so the error is most
likely due to problems with your mapscript C lib.  Have
you tried using a TIFF as a raster layer before?  Are
you using GDAL to access the TIFF?  There are many
possible problems, you should provide a bit more data
to help with the diagnosis:

Operating system, software (version/revision), compiler,
Python distribution, etc.

cheers,
Sean
