Actually, I suppose it's still *possible* that it's a Cairo function
which is getting in the way, instead, and the zlib change merely brings
it to light?  I'm not quite sure anymore.

Here's a reproducible script and data:

Would someone mind taking a look quick and let me know if this is
something I should submit to Python or PyGTK's tracker?  Thanks...

On an XP system of mine, removing "import os" and "import sys" will
"fix" the problem.  On a win2k machine I can get rid of those imports and
still see the crash, though.  It's definitely a memory-clobbering
bug of some sort, I'm just not quite sure where.

Thanks!
