Problem "solved" by rudely installing PIL 1.1.5 for Windows and
Python 2.4 from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
right on top of my existing "Python Enthought Edition--Python
2.4.3 for Windows". This might have destroyed the consistency
of the overall installation, of course. I'm well punished
for installing Enthought Python 2.4.3: Next time I will again
install all packages that I need myself, as I did for Python
2.3, instead of using a prepackaged distribution like Enthought
Python.

posts about this problem),
