Good to know that.

As I don't really know the source of the problems, I did not reported
the problem to nobody. I know that PyTables + Python 2.4 is perfectly
stable in Linux (and probably most of UNIX, including MacOSX).

I'm guessing here, but I'm afraid that the change of the compiler
required for compiling python extensions in Windows platforms for
Python 2.4 (MSVC 7.1 instead of MSVC 6) would be the responsible for
the unstability of PyTables+Pyton2.4 on this platform. Maybe is the C
code generated with Pyrex does not work well with MSVC 7.1, or maybe
there are other sources for problems as well, who knows. I do hope
tough, that after a short period of time, these problems would be
alleviated, and eventually disappear. Meanwhile, I'd strongly
recommend to use Python 2.3 with PyTables in Windows platforms.

Hopefully, you will have news from us on that subject very shortly.
