Summary: importing win32com.client causes python to crash

Initial Comment:
Windows XP Professional SP1 - English
.NET framework not installed
python-2.2.3
win32all-152

Open an interactive python session, then execute the 
following import statement:

import win32com.client

This causes the python interpreter to crash 
with "memory could not be read" error (system error 
dialog appears).

Google search: +"import win32com.client" +crash

Tons of error reports can be found. Strange, sometimes 
unpredictable behaviour reported. This bug (?) broke 
significant part of existing win32all codebase. Some 
forum posts suggested, that win32all-150 with python-
2.2.2 did not crash (this is a "workaround", but should 
be tested).
