Pythonwin IDE docs

The following code may crash Pythonwin IDE

import os
os.execv("c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe",["c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe",""])

Note that running the same command using IDLE does cause any problems thereby I deduce that Pythonwin may have some issue with the command above.
