win32all crashes win98

[Wolfgang Neff]

Python extensions for Windows (win32all) work fine on Windows 2000 and also
on Windows 98 SE / IE 5.5 when run within PythonWin. Withing python/pythonw,
however, the same script causes kernel32.dll to crash with a stack error.

I'd like to run the following script by double clicking its icon without
getting a python shell:

    #MsgBox.pyw
    import win32con
    import win32ui
    win32ui.MessageBox("Message Box","Test",win32con.MB_OK)

Is there someone who knows a work-around?

Thanks

   Wolfgang
