There are other differences. A Windows service doesn't load the user's profile fully, for example. Nevertheless, that's a horribly obscure bug. A long shot. Does Jython use temp filestore for any purpose, for example while compiling? If so, it might not be seeing the variables it expects if running as a service. Watching the file and registry calls with Process Explorer (used to be sysinternals, now on Microsoft's site) would quite likely tell you a lot more, particularly if you could compare a successful run as a non-service with a failed run as a service. - Peter
