py2exe -> error in PYTHON23.DLL

[Grant Edwards]

Using py2exe under WinMe, I bundled up a python program
containing a single line:

print "hello world"

When I zip up the dist directory and move it to another WinMe
machine, trying to run hello.exe either reboots or pops up a
dialog box that says

  Hello has caused an error in PYTHON23.DLL
  Hello will now close
  
  If you continue to experience problems,
  try restarting your computer.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?
  
It runs find on the machine where I did the bundling and on
another XP machine.

The machine where I bundled up things is using py2exe 0.5.1a1
and running
