Help with EOFError when loading .pyc files

[Carl Bevil]

I am having a strange problem.  At runtime, I can load a .py file and compile 
it on the fly without trouble.  But if there is a .pyc file already present 
(generated from from the same .py file), when it is loaded and excuted, I get 
a runtime error: "EOFError: EOF read where object expected".

I've seen this error message in marshal.c, and attempted to do some debugging. 
 But trying to figure out what is going wrong when executing a .pyc file is 
not easy.  :-)

So I'm hoping someone out there can give me some hints or advice on what is 
going wrong.

Something that might be relevant is that I am cross-compiling my application 
for a different platform.  The interpreter is embedded into my application.  
My application is built on the Windows platform, and the .py files are created 
and saved on the Windows machine.  I then run the application remotely (on a 
proprietary platform), which reads in the .py/.pyc files, either from the PC's 
hard drive (over the network), or directly from a CD.  The reason I bring this 
point up is that I am concerned this might be some sort of CRLF issue between 
the two platforms.  Although I would think if that were the case, the .py 
files would not work either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
