When the built shared library is copied to the correct location, it actually *modifies* any existing shared library, which causes any running process using it to segfault. To fix this, we first delete any existing shared library (which is safe to do) and then copy the newly built shared library to the correct location as a new file. Related to PyO3#257

I've added some words to the changelog, though I don't think I really expressed it well. |

@davidhewitt: any chance of a release to include this change? It caused a significant outage for us today :(. |

Sorry for the delay on release here. I'll try to put live tomorrow. |
