python fails in windows shell

[Krzysztof Duleba]

When I try to run python in Windows shell, it hangs. Even the simplest test 
like python -c 'print "foo"' will result in ntvdm process taking 100% CPU. 
I tried it with 1.5.19 and 1.5.17 and got the same result.

When I strace python, I get a bit surprising output:

D:\cygwin\home\Krzysiek>strace python
--- Process 52048, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33
--- Process 52048, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33
--- Process 52048, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33
[...]
