One useful thing would be to run Mnemosyne from the terminal
('mnemosyne', naturlich), and see what output there is beyond the
usual deprecation warning/logging message. It sounds like some
internal Python issue (possibly similar to my recent encodings
problem), which would cause some sort of output to stderr. But not to
the GUI.
