I'm a Program Manager at Microsoft working with the Windows Error Reporting 
team and we gather crash information from users for applications and drivers on 
Windows. We've been gathering Windows 7 crash data for 3rd party vendors such 
as yourself and need some assistance with the following crash.

Python25.dll is crashing consistently on all Windows 7 builds. You may already 
be aware of the issue but it appears the crash is related to a manipulation of 
stacks. The app manipulates the C stack directly for its own implementation of 
lightweight threads. This means a Stack Buffer Overrrun could be coming from 
almost anything it's doing. This is causing almost 4000 crashes per day since 
mid-June. The version we're seeing crashing the most is 2.5.4150.1013.

The symptoms and applications in these crashes vary, so it's possible we are 
looking at multiple issues. Microsoft does not have debugging symbols for your 
product. This makes it more difficult for our automation to correctly assign 
which module is most likely to be the root cause of the failure. Occasionally, 
our automation will attribute blame incorrectly. If this happens, please send 
us an example error report with your analysis, and tell us how to correctly 
identify the failing module.

If you have a newer version available or a place on your website where you 
discuss this error and ways to work around it, I can post a response to users 
and point them your direction so they can obtain a fix. Our goal is to have a 
positive end user experience with your product and Windows and we need your 
assistance to reach that goal.

Thanks for your help. Please let me know if I can provide any information to 
help you debug this crash.
