Although I hadn't expected/intended any research to be applied to my note
(except if the original problem involved undeletable files on the
buildbots), I'm relieved your experiment turned up no problem; it makes
the case stronger against something in the local setup.
FWIW, the particular cases I remember seeing involved applications built
with ctypes and Venster (Win32 GUI wrapper over ctypes) with a lot of
COM calls, with Python 2.2.3.

The anti-virus on my work XP Pro SP2 system has been a source of
considerable annoyance in many situations, so its the first thing
I blame...

That too! Our outsourced IT supplier seems to think it means Standard
Operating Environment, but I haven't figured out what's "standard" about
it...
Cheers,
