When I build the Python tests with MSVC (7.1 beta, version 13.10.2292)
I get non-functioning DLLs. With a debug build, importing an extension
module into Python aborts silently, and with the release builds it
reports "ImportError: DLL load failed: Invalid access to memory
location." I'm reasonably sure this was working a couple of weeks ago.

I can report more details if necessary, but maybe somebody already has
experience with this happening? A sample link and test run follows
(lines manually wrapped). I'm using the indexing_v2 branch in
boost/python/suite/indexing and libs/python, and the CVS head
everywhere else. The problem occurs with the new indexing tests and
the existing tests I've tried as well (e.g. crossmod_exception.py).
