2.3b1 sys.path anomaly on W2K

[Stephen D Evans]

With a fresh installation of Python 2.3b1 on Windows 2000 (having
'uninstalled' earlier installations).
The c:\python23 is on PATH.

Where does the 'C:\\WINNT\\System32\\python23.zip' come from in sys.path?
Does anyone else get this? Is it meant to be there?

C:\>python
Python 2.3b1 (#40, Apr 25 2003, 19:06:24) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 'C:\\WINNT\\System32\\python23.zip', 'C:\\', 'c:\\python23\\DLLs',
'c:\\python23\\lib', 'c:\\python23\\lib\\plat-win',
'c:\\python23\\lib\\lib-tk',
'c:\\python23', 'c:\\python23\\lib\\site-packages']
