Which modules?

IIRC, the OP eventually determined this was due to mixing VC6-compiled
modules with .NET-compiled modules.  The C runtime systems aren't
compatible.  So, e.g., if you compile Zope3 with .NET, you also need to
compile Python with .NET.

Sorry, I couldn't even if I wanted to -- I don't have .NET installed, or
spare time.
