.pyc crashes, .py doesn't

[Christopher Brand]

In article <m3vgnbse2d.fsf at atrus.jesus.cam.ac.uk>, Michael Hudson says...
>Wierd!  Can you get a backtrace?  

No, due to the GPF (the invalid page fault in MSVCRT.DLL) Python exits most
ungracefully :)  No traceback, just a stack dump which, I'm afraid means very
little to me.

I will look into that one...

That might work on the NT/IIS box, to a large extent it will depend on the
rights that IIS4.0 requires in order to be friendly with my scripts.  I don't
have such fine-grained access control on the Win98/Apache machine I am
developing on.

Thanks for your suggestions.
