Thanks, I'll try that.

In sys_getwindowsversion:

	return Py_BuildValue("HHHHs",
	                     ver.dwMajorVersion,
	                     ver.dwMinorVersion,
	                     ver.dwBuildNumber,
	                     ver.dwPlatformId,
	                     ver.szCSDVersion);

The crash disappears if I change the first parameter in the Py_BuildValue call to "LLLLs".  No idea why.
With this change, I can start the exe without a crash, but sys.versioninfo starts with (IIRC) (2, 0, 5,...).
