Cannot run any multiprocessing script in PythonWin

[Amit Barik]

I run these basic codes in Python 2.6 interactive window of PythonWin which imports multiprocessing module:-

    >>> import multiprocessing
    >>> def myfunc():
    ...     pass
    ... 
    >>> p1 = multiprocessing.Process(name='listen', target=myfunc)
    >>> p1.start()
    >>> 
 

As soon as I call p1.start(), a popup message comes up (with title "Python for Win32") saying "Could not load the file from <myfileName>-c"
where <myfileName> is my file name with full path.
Also this popup message opens in a new PythonWin window. After a long time (1 min), a "Python Tracekack" window opens up showing -
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\intpyapp.py", line 245, in ProcessArgs
dde.Exec("win32ui.GetApp().OpenDocumentFile(%s)" % (repr(fname)))
error: Exec failed"

When I run any multiprocessing script (which obviously calls Process.start() ) from command prompt, it seems to run perfectly without any trouble.

I couldn't find anything online related to this problem.
Thanks for the help!!

P.S:
I am running it on Windows XP, PythonWin, Python 2.6.4v
