One possibility is that you are overflowing the stack, or otherwise 
overwriting it.

But for a better answer, please run your program with stderr redirected 
to a file, and post here the beginning of this infinite loop of crashes.  
The first two tracebacks hold the important clues about why does it 
crash, the rest are just the usual DOS/Windows madness.

Telling a bit about what does your program do might also be useful to 
guess what might go wrong.
