Comment 10 for bug 490228

Thanks John. Unfortunately those ones are built against Python 2.6 rather than 2.5 which the official Bazaar installation for Windows uses, so they don't work as drop-in replacements. I tried using your patch to rebuild the extensions against 2.5 but that requires Visual Studio 2003 which I don't think we have installed anywhere here!

If you're able to build a binary (plus pdb) of groupcompress from Bazaar 2.0.1 that's compatible with 2.5 I'll give it a go and see if I can get it to crash again. Alternatively I could try building all the extensions against 2.6 with Visual Studio 2005 and see if I can get that to crash. That's not really an ideal test though because it's changing too many variables at once.

It would be handy if debug symbols were built for every release of Bazaar and either included in the installer or provided as a separate zip file, as that would make debugging crashes like this a lot easier. I'll enter a bug for that.
