I tried it with 2.3.2, but it doesn't work either.

The crash message is:

python.exe -- application program error

the command from "0x77f7e22a " referenced the memory at "0x00000028 ".
The memory couldn't be "read".

Another data point:

For me it ran seemingly ok in an NT4 console window, but with idle it acted weird,
and I couldn't capture the session screen (oops, maybe Ctl-C is no good for that there)
Anyway, the Quit button changed to depressed look, and then was stuck visible but not responding.
I had to kill it with task manager. Then idle printed a -----restart----- line.

It's very strange but it works perfect when I rename python.exe into
something else and run with it.

Has it something to do with previous versions installed? I had
Python2.3bx and 2.3c1 installed on this machine and didn't uninstall
them before I installed Python 2.3.2.

Why does this happen? How can I solve this problem?

Well, I seem to have found the (vague) reason.

There is a file named python.exe.mani fest (along with
pythonw.exe.man ifest) in the python folder. If I delete it, Tkinter
doesn't raise memory exception.

What is it? Is it safe to delete it?
