Indeed it's in the start sequence and I'm not trying to run it as a service.

This is the traceback:

I wonder if this could a problem of the installer, but doesn't seem very
likely as I assume it doesn't change the source code. I didn't have the time
to try the tarball in win98SE. I have no idea how much work that could be.
