[python-win32] pythonw.exe hardcrash on py2exe wmi-sample / Pythin 2.4

 Hello,

I just upgraded my system to Python 2.4. I tried to do an former 
2.3-setup.py script to repackage my application within Python 2.4


This application uses wmi and therefor has an typelib-argumentlist.

on **generating typelib stubs** the run fails. I went down to 
py2exe/samples/advanced where the wmitest is, and used the setup.py there.

same error. py2exe tries to generate typelib stubs, and crashes HARD. 
Not a simple traceback, but

"""Fehler in Anwendung" ... "Die Anweisung in 0x1e03ab43´verweist auf 
Speicher in "0x34202c39". Der Vorgang "read" konnte nicht auf dem 
Speicher duchgeführt werden."""


(that is the german error from windows, when Memory at not allowed areas 
is being accessed)

After that, only "ok" and "Abbrechen" (which do the same :( )

I tracked that down to the line (in build_exe)

makepy.GenerateFromTypeLibSpec(info, bForDemand = False)

that is the one that crashes badly. It kills everything ... I put 
debugging-prints around it, and even the debugging-prints immediately 
before are not flushed to stdout anymor.

What can I do? OS is Windows XP prof SP2, acual updates. Is there an old 
pywin32 bug exposed just through sp2??

Harald
