Ok, I can see that the most recent README says:

"There is a bug in Python 2.2.1 that causes crashes on some platforms.
If you are using Python 2.2.1, you should recompile Python with the patch in
`typeobject.patch` applied."

Is Windows affected? (I'm not clever enough to figure that out
from the source...)

If I recompile, is it only the python.exe that needs to
be replaced compared to a stock Windows 2.2.1? (My client
doesn't own a C++ compiler...)

>Python 2.2.2 should be out in a few weeks.

Ok. Considering what GvR wrote, I hope you aren't
waiting for PBF regarding that. I don't know about
the Lysator people, but it seems to me that the
PBF hasn't quite jelled yet...
