you could try to debug it with a C debugger, but then you would need to 
recomile everything with debug libs etc. anyway, it's likely that soem 
extension module accesses memory it shouldn't and only NT based windows 
care about that.

maybe you could tell us what extensions/libaries you use, so that we can 
get an idea what went wrong.
e.g. i had crashes with wxPython it doesn't protect you from the c++ 
implementation of wxWindws in all respects. sometimes when one does 
"dispose()" an object (like a wxFrame) and works with it again a protection 
error can occour.
