[python-win32] found bug in pyhtonwin (with workaround)

[michael.erhart at magnasteyr.com]

Hi,

I have found a bug in pyhtonwin.

Sometimes pyhtonwin allocate about 1000 Toolbars and need about 5000 windows-user-objects. So some other programs didn't work at the same time
(like outlook)
A workaround is to set the toolbar size in the registry manual to 1. So pythonwin only needs about 77 user-objects, and all work perfect.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python 2.4\Python for Win32\ToolbarDefault-Summary\Bars = 1


with best regards,
Michael Erhart
