py23-pysvn-svn114-1.2.0-415.exe << won't load on win98

[Timothy Smith]

hello there,
i get the following error when attempting to load pysvn on a win98 system

Traceback (most recent call last):
>  File "PubWare.py", line 11, in ?
>  File "Main.pyc", line 46, in ?
>  File "pysvn\__init__.pyc", line 12, in ?
>  File "pysvn\_pysvn.pyc", line 9, in ?
>  File "pysvn\_pysvn.pyc", line 7, in __load
>ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not 
>functioning.

i installed the package on a windows xp system, and on other xp systems
it is also fine, however on win98 systems it errors


ok i have installed win98 on a test machine and sure enough i get the 
exact same error on trying to import pysvn.

it's python 2.3, pysvn 1.2.0 build 415. it's a totally virgin install, 
nothing but those 2 are installed on the system. note that is' standard 
win98, not win98 SE

now how do i start trying to track down whats wrong and do you think it 
will be possible to fix it?
