since you're passing in a FILE object, you must make sure that you're
using the right runtime library:

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-July/007766.html

(the above thread is the first hit if you google for PyRun_SimpleFile, btw.)

there's also a FAQ entry about this:

http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows.html#pyrun-simplefile-crashes-on-windows-but-not-on-unix-why

which discusses some ways to work around this if you cannot fix the
runtime library issue.

hope this helps!
