Because if CRT resources are shared between different CRT versions, bad things will happen (the ABIs are not equivalent, errno and other globals are at different addresses, etc.) Cython code tends to share CRT resources with Python. For example, your Cython code might (invisibly to us) invoke malloc to allocate space for an objent, and then Python will later call free. This should perferably go through the same DLL. Another thing is that msvcrt.dll is for Windows own system resources, not for user apps.
