Summary: MSVCRT.DLL screws up the system

Initial Comment:
This applies to the Windows version of Python 2.3.2. 

When a friend of mine installed Python onto his 
computer (running Windows NT 4) the entire system got 
screwed up and he had to reinstall the operating system 
and all applications. The errors reported all had to do 
with unresolved symbols in the MSVCRT.DLL -file. 
Uninstalling Python did not help. 

I also encountered a similar problem. After installing 
Python on a Windows NT 4 machine Quattro Pro 9 would 
not start, complaining about unresolved symbols in the 
MSVCRT.DLL -file. When I uninstalled Python and rolled 
back the changes QP started just fine.
