As others said: please post a patch.

I do believe that this it's *not* that. Including it in python.c does
not help the least. Including it in pythonxy.dll may help.

However, somebody would have to produce a patch, and a test case,
and verify that the problem occurs without the patch, and is solved
with the patch.
