[python-win32] COM Crash with 201.1

I have a reasonably simple script that basically pastes some data into Excel
(2002) then does various changes to pretty the data up.  With build 201.1
this code crashes Python (not with a traceback, but with the WinXP "do you
want to report this problem" dialog.

If I comment out the data pasting, then the pretty-it-up code works.  If I
comment out the pretty-it-up code, then the data pasting works.  Commenting
out some pieces works, others don't, but I can't discern a pattern anywhere.

Oddly, this all works happily with build 200 (which I have moved back to).
Anyone else experience something like this?  Any suggestions about how to
progress with debugging this?

Thanks,
Tony Meyer

(If anyone wants the actual script, I can give it to them - if I could
figure out an extract that triggers the problem, I'd simply open a bug
report, but I can't, annoyingly).
