Doing "help('modules')" and "help(), help> modules" should be the same.
My point is that the crash is not Python's fault, but it's caused by some 
extension module that gets imported by help('modules').  This module is 
probably not installed on the other machines and on the same machine for other 
Python versions, so it doesn't crash there.  You can look on sys.path to see 
the places where Python searches for the modules.

If you manage to identify the module, you could report the problem to their bug 
tracker.  AFAIK Python can't do anything to prevent/contain a crash while 
importing an extension module.
