You may have a conflicting dll (do you have ESRI installed on your system?)
that breaks our python. ESRI has been a bad boy it seems and installed

ours where they overlap. We don't have a good solution to this yet.

Yeah the server is swamped - we are moving things onto a new server asap
which will hopefully help things.
