As far as we know, the problem is due to the 'kjbuckets.pyd' extension.  It 
appears to crash the interpreter on newer Windows versions.  We don't know 
why.  It works fine on earlier Windows versions, like Win 98.

Some users have reported that the problem doesn't occur if they build PEAK 
from the source, with MS VC6.  I don't own or wish to purchase MS VC6 
(assuming I could buy it anymore, anyway), so PEAK binary releases are 
built with the free MinGW32 tools.

It appears that all PEAK's other extensions work fine, so I suspect that 
kjbuckets is doing something questionable.  I haven't had time as yet to 
try to figure out what that might possibly be.  Since you are using the 
exact same interpreter as I am, just on a different platform, it has to be 
something external to Python that is causing the problem.
