Given that the builtin function reload() does more or less the same
thing, it seems likely that there's something odd about your embedding
that is making the difference.
Does it make a difference which module you reload?
I notice that you're using VC++ 6.0. Is your Python built with VC6
too? (The python.org distribution is built with 7 -- or 7.1, I forget
which).

You might want to file a bug report.
