[BUG] python cElementTree crashes

Hello All,
Python crashes for me during shutdown. Shell says the process terminated with
Abort (status 134). A python2.6.exe.stackdump is created, but empty and gdb
gives this rather useless stacktrace:
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()
#1 0x76677720 in NlsUpdateSystemLocale () from
/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll
#2 0x76604b9f in KERNEL32!GetQueuedCompletionStatus () from
/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll
#3 0x00000003 in ?? ()
#4 0x00000000 in ?? ()
The crash happens during shutdown according to python -v.
It started crashing since some upgrade, but downgrade to python 2.6.7-1 does not
fix it, so it's related to some other component. It happens on at least two
machines here, so it seems to be reproducible. Both machines are Windows 7
Ultimate and have windows updates applied.
The script uses cElementTree and pure-python translate-toolkit (that from local
copy). I've tried to reduce it to minimal test case and it turns out that
importing _both_ cElementTree _and_ pofile and pounit from translate toolkit
initiates the crash. The minimal test case is:
#!/usr/bin/python
import xml.etree.cElementTree as et
from translate.storage.po import pofile, pounit
provided that translate toolkit 1.9.0
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/translate/files/Translate%20Toolkit/1.9.0/)
is available in current directory or PYTHONPATH.
Importing either of the modules alone does not cause the crash, only both
together. If I replace cElementTree with ElementTree, it does not crash either
(that's my current workaround).
Regards,
Jan Hudec
