Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I personally don't think this problem can be resolved by discussion. Instead, you have to use a debugger, debug your application, Python, and Windows, to find out the true cause of the problem. Only then discussion can be fruitful. If you cannot do these steps

Andre M. Descombes added the comment: Apparently, XP is more lax when it comes to checking this flag on the programs it runs then Windows 2003 Server. I am currently doing a test where I have manually added the flag to python to see if this makes the problem go away. I will post my results as soo
