When attempting to generated marshaled data in <2.4 format,
I get a crash in python.exe.

With a windows XP installation of Python2.4 from
"http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/python-2.4.msi"

C:\Python24>python
Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32
bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import marshal
>>> marshal.dumps('hello',0)

Windows popup:
"""
python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
"""

'Debug' shows:
"Unhandled exception in python.exe (PYTHON24.DLL):
0xC0000005: Access Violation"

I think this has been fixed in CVS.

This was reported once already and fixed for Py2.4.1.

Thanks.
