Summary: atexit not called for pythonservice (win32)

Initial Comment:
I have a couple of functions registered with atexit
which work fine when the program is executed on
command-line. But when I run the same as a windows
service, and stop the service using service interface,
these hooks never get call backs. The service does exit
normally (at least my program doesn't do os._exit() and
there are no exceptions).

I am using ActiveState's distribution of python, but I
would imagine this is non-specific. Here is the version
information:

ActivePython 2.4.1 Build 247 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.4.1 (#65, Jun 20 2005, 17:01:55) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32

As a workaround I am calling the
atexit._run_exitfuncs() manually before returning from
SvcDoRun() for now.

Doesn't seem to be. In my case I don't see a call back at
all, so the issue is not about when it gets called.
