I'm a bit confused here -- which interpreter are you referring to that 
continues to work after the program being debugged crashes?  Do you mean 
the python shell?  It runs in a separate process so it should continue 
to run regardless of what happens with the debugger.

Does the program crash when run outside of Wing?  If it does, it's 
probably due to a problem in an extension module and you need to either 
work around it or debug / modify the extension module.  It might be due 
to the size of stack, though that wouldn't be my first guess.

If it only crashes in Wing's debugger, than it might be due to something 
Wing does and we'd like to know more about what your program does.

Thanks,

John
