Python script launched too quickly ==> BUG [Archive]

Hi,

I have found that while a first python script is already running, if I launch an other python script more than once by second (for example with key mapped to xbmc.RunScript(...) ), it raises an exception :
CThread::StaticThread : access violation at 0x41235678 when reading memory 0x0000000.
From here, the only thing that can be done is to kill XBMC.

The problem only happens if I launch the second script several times, quickly (< 2seconds).
This second script can be very simple, like only :
print "hello world"

This has occured to me for each version (from 8.10 to 9.04), so also with current svn.
Note : compilation on Windows, with VC2008Express.

Thanks.

1/ declare an entry in the keymap.xml file, like that :

<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<w>XBMC.RunScript(C:\_dev\XBMC_9.04\XBMC\scripts\auto exec.py)</w>
...

2/ autoexec.py :

print "autoexec.py"

3/ from any window of xbmc, launch autoexec.py by pressing the 'w' key.
If you press it with an interval of 2 seconds, it should be OK, but if you press it more quicly ==> BOUM !!
The error in the log file is :
