This might be something you want to post on the main comp.lang.python
newsgroup as well as Tutor.  These kind of errors should not happen in
Python, so perhaps someone on comp.lang.python might be able to point out
a service pack fix in NT that corrects this.

Agreed; I don't think this has to do with your program, but with some
system library of the operating system.

Good luck to you.
