Re: python fails in windows shell

When I try to run python in Windows shell, it hangs. Even the simplest test

I tried it with 1.5.19 and 1.5.17 and got the same result.

When I strace python, I get a bit surprising output:

D:\cygwin\home\Krzysiek>strace python
--- Process 52048, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33
--- Process 52048, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33
--- Process 52048, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33
[...]

;-) Take a look at the output from


file `which python`

Ouch...


I did rebaseall, but it didn't help at all. However, python2.4 started directly runs just fine. Thanks a lot!
