This may or may not be related to what you're seeing but it's definitely a problem. I'll check the bugs database and/or file a bug. I *can* reproduce your problem running Python22 on Win7. Now, no-one's going to be applying patches to Python 2.2 at this stage: in the 2.x series, only 2.7 is getting anything other than urgent security fixes. And even 2.7's only getting clear bugfixes. Just so you know.
OK; the python 2.7 issues is http://bugs.python.org/issue8036 Let's see if I can get a fix in before the next release! Not quite sure whether the 2.2 issue is the same but it's looking like being a W7 / CRT-related issue. I'll keep looking TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
