Hi Colleen, I do not have Windows 7 and am therefore unlikely to test any releases made on it. I have also not heard of any problems being had by anyone on Windows 7 with Stackless Python. But this does make me think that I should be including the pdb files with the Windows binaries that I release. In any case, the product code you gave above is that of Python 2.5.4 [1]. I have not made nor released a Stackless Python 2.5.4 yet, therefore it is impossible for Stackless Python to be in any way responsible for the crashes you are seeing with this version. Are you are certain that stack manipulation is actually being done, or even that lightweight threading is actually involved? If so, there is another Python extension that adds the stack manipulation Stackless Python does to Python called greenlet [2]. It is possible that people are using that in inadvisable ways, but that has nothing to do with us. Cheers, Richard.
