[ZODB-Dev] ZODB 3 crashes with MSVC 7.0 compiler

[D. John Anderson]

I just built ZODB3 with the current shipping version of Microsoft's 
compiler (7.0) for Windows and noticed that while running the demo, 
Python 2.2.1 (also built with MSVC 7.0) dies because tp_init for the 
ExtensionClass module is pointing to a bad address. I've double checked 
that I'm using the right C runtime and the compiler options all look ok. 
Works fine under Linux. Anybody got any ideas?

Here's the output from my distutils build (I'm using a modified 
distutils, since shipping one doesn't support the 7.0 compiler either):
