This version of pycurl is 7 years old. You may be trying to find a bug
that has already been found and fixed. Pycurl is mostly backwards
compatible and still supports python 2.4, therefore the first thing I
suggest you do is build the *current* version of pycurl against python
2.4 and see if your crash goes away.

The documentation included in the current release has extensive
compilation/installation instructions for windows.

Does the 800 kb binary statically link to openssl?

The likelihood of you using identical options and configuration to the
ones used to compile a 7 year old release is very slim. Pycurl has
several options, libcurl has yet more options, the ssl library being
used has still more options, and they can all be combined statically or
dynamically. All in all there are a *lot* of possible combinations.

If your newly built pycurl.pyd works with your application, and
crashes, use the new binary and the corresponding symbols to debug the
crash.
