[python-win32] EOFError in gencache.py

[Zdenek Mejzlik]

Hello,

My script running on Windows XP Professional SP2 is sometimes hit with 
the following problem.
I use Python 2.5.1.1 (from ActiveState) and Python 2.5 pywin32-210.
The script uses the Sensormatic's Intellex API consisting of COM 
components.

PythonWin 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  1 2007, 17:47:05) [MSC v.1310 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32.

    version = p.load()
EOFError

If I uninstall both pywin and Python and install them again the problem 
disappears. But it is only temporary
solution the problem returns back after several days. Please, help me to 
find the definitive solution.

Thanks
