[python-win32] context_menu.py crashing Explorer

Hi, everybody.

I'm having an issue with the context_menu.py example included with pywin32
(2.18) under Python 2.7.6.  I register it by running it ("python
context_menu.py --register"), but then, when I right-click on a Python file,
my Explorer process terminates.  I've tried variations (some enhanced examples
I've found on stackoverflow, for example), and they all exhibit the same behavior.

1. Has anybody else run into this?
2. Is there an example out there that actually works?
3. If not, any suggestions on how I can debug this to figure out exactly what
is causing the issue?  I see there are some print statements in the module (so
I might be able to do printf-debugging) but I don't know where that output is
going.

Thanks for any help.
