Could I get the MD5 of your $PYTHONDIR\DLLs\_socket.pyd to see if it
matches mine?

>>> data = file('_socket.pyd', 'rb').read()
>>> import md5
>>> md5.md5(data).hexdigest()
'7a7fc2d9e9df65690658c989bd9e95bb'

It's looking like it might be a corrupt DLL or something to which it
links is causing issues.  Alternatively, it might be possible to
find/download the 2.4.3 _socket.pyd, or possibly overwrite it with a
2.4.4 _socket.pyd (I don't know how backwards compatible the ABI is
for binary modules)

Thanks!
