[python-win32] NT Service not re-startable after reboot

Fri Mar 17 00:53:14 CET 2006

FWIW, here's the output from win32\test\testall.py (I don't know if I
should assume that all should pass or not). This is on a Win2k Server
with Python 2.4.2 and pywin32 build 207:

This would be nice to fix, but it's not the end of the world. If I can't
get it working here, I'll just move it to a Linux box and go on my merry
way... ;)
