Comment(by helena):

 For my colleagues this problem appears for GRASS7svn and I believe that
 also for GRASS64svn. It does not seem to be a problem with GRASS6.4.3RC*
 installed through Helmut's installer. It appears that ADK has been using
 the svn snapshots - do you still have this problem if you try the latest
 GRASS6.4.3RC4 from here?

 For the record, this is what my colleagues found (which indicates python
 version conflict with ArcGIS, already discussed on the list): GRASS 7
 needs Python 2.7.    I have several Python 2.7 installed on my machine, so
 we started looking at that.
 Now Richard has found that GRASS 7 works perfectly on Windows 7 and 8
 until ArcGIS 10.1 is installed.  Then, when ArcGIS 10.1 is installed,
 GRASS 7  exits immediately upon starting.  Actually, if you pause this
 jing video at 6 seconds, it shows 'importError: cannot import name
 MAXREPEAT'

 We have tried, unsuccessfully, the fixes we could find online for the
 MAXREPEAT error.  We were wondering if you could communicate this with the
 developers to see if they have some ideas about how to tackle this
 problem.
