I don't think I've ever heard of this happening on one machine.
I've certainly seen it in building on one and running on another.
So far, it's always been due to .dlls (and I'm pretty sure that's
your problem, too, but not sure how). For example, building on Win2K
may pick up some .dlls that crash when you try them on NT or Win9x.

Look through the dlls in your dist_xxx directory, and remove any
that aren't directly Python. It may have picked up a system dll
that doesn't belong there. If you find the culprit, email me and
I'll add it to the excludes list.
