The end result is that the lockfile operation crashes. As MSDN explains, you must not pass FILE* across CRTs. The proposed patch avoids the problem by passing file names instead.

I vaugely recall having a similar problem embedding Python perhaps two years ago. At that time I had contemplated adding a function to python.dll along the lines of

FILE * Py_OpenFile(char *filename, char *mode)

The sole purpose of this function was to allow embedding applications to use PyRun_SimpleFile and similar python.dll functions that expect a (crt) FILE object.

I'm sorry I can't remember the exact use case. I'm not proposing Py_OpenFile as a solution to this problem.

I just wanted to speak up and say "me too".
