[New-bugs-announce] [issue7206] 64 bit python fails on Windows 7

[Rich Healey]

New submission from Rich Healey <richo at psych0tik.net>:

64 bit pythons fail on 64 bit Windows 7.

The crash happens with python 2.6 and 3.1 in 64 bit mode. 3.1 was a
clean install after the issue presented itself.

I'm not 100% sure how best to help with the problem, I've attached the
dump from windows debugger, please let me know if there's anything else
I can do to help.

It used to work but I'm not sure what changed, as near as I can tell
nothing system wide did, except perhaps the installation of new
compilers, my thought is that it could alter some dll search path?

Thanks in advance
