Not per se but the DECNET stack got into a pretty bad state - had to
reboot. 

I've never had to reboot a VMS box for anything DECnet related.

Yeah, this is some weird interaction between Python and DECNET TASKs.

It refuses to start python, basically.

Can Python be run non-interactively???   Are there any command line flags
or qualifiers for use in non-interactive mode???   Are you trying to pass
commands/data into Python via the DECnet channel???   It appears you are
WRT your SYS$COMMAND definition.   Error messages should contain insight!



DECNET boxes seem pretty easy to DOS... 

Poor application programming is not the fault of the system it runs on! ;)

A poor application program shouldn't take out the network stack :)

And I doubt that it did...
