I was referring to the issue described in 
http://bugs.python.org/issue4804, which notes that exceptions.c 
unconditionally called:

   _CrtSetReportMode(_CRT_ASSERT, 0);

which has the effect of disabling crt assertions that would otherwise 
result in a modal dialog.  That bug remains open though, so maybe I'm 
confused about the problem which started this discussion...
