[New-bugs-announce] [issue8007] conhost.exe crashes when pasting 230 characters into python

[Leo Shklovskii]

New submission from Leo Shklovskii <leos at thermopylae.net>:

I just upgraded to Windows 7, reinstalled all of my environment and am running into a completely crazy issue.

The repro is: cmd.exe -> python.exe -> Paste in a string more than 230 chars.

conhost.exe crashes and I get an error that ends up in the error log:
Log Name:      Application

I'd think its not python, however, I'm able to paste into the cmd.exe shell without any problem and into other apps running from the command line.

This is python 2.6.4, from the installer at python.org. Windows 7 32-bit.

Please let me know what other info I can provide and I'm happy to try out a debug build if needed.
