I think this goes inline with previous reports of problems with gzip
module on Windows.  can't look into detail for it atm -- just google it
up.  But I would advise you to just forget about the madness of
deploying python solutions on Windows and use our virtual machine:

http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html

where you can get mvpa installed in no time and avoid Windows-specific issues.
We do use PyMVPA on large volumes on data on our Debian boxes with 64GB of RAM
;-) and never experienced similar problems.

Cheers,
