[MissingSignal]

Describe the bug Dear support, I get a segmentation fault when handling images on python 3.12. In particular something goes wrong when I wrap images with yarp_image.setExternal() . The same code runs well on python < 3.11 .

To Reproduce I've experienced the error on my personal code but here's a snippet to reproduce the error.

# Create the array with random data
img_array = numpy.random.uniform(0., 255., (240, 320)).astype(numpy.float32)
 
# Create the yarp image and wrap it around the array  
yarp_image = yarp.ImageFloat()
yarp_image.setExternal(img_array, img_array.shape[1], img_array.shape[0])

Configuration (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 - MacOS Sonoma 14.5
• yarp version: latest stable release of YARP 3.9
