psychopy.visual.TextStim causing major crash

Coding

Here’s a minimal example. This is the main file:

from __future__ import division  # so that 1/3=0.333 instead of 1/3=0

debug = True

timer = core.Clock()


if debug:
    expInfo ={u'session': u'-999', u'participant': u'test'}
    expInfo['date'] = 'test'
    expInfo['expName'] = 'test'

    expInfo = {u'gender': u'001', u'participant': u'',u'age': u''}
    dlg = gui.DlgFromDict(dictionary=expInfo, title=expName)
    if dlg.OK == False: core.quit()  
    expInfo['date'] = data.getDateStr()  
    expInfo['expName'] = expName

if debug:
    win = visual.Window(size=(800, 600), fullscr=False, screen=0, allowGUI=False, allowStencil=False,

run_blocks(noise,timer,visual,win,event,incorrect,tone1,tone2)



win.close()
core.quit()

And this is the imported functions.py:

import csv

from psychopy import locale_setup, core, data, event, logging, sound, gui



def run_blocks(noise,timer,visual,win,event,incorrect,tone1,tone2):

        noise.play()
        timer.reset()
        image = visual.ImageStim(win=win, image=  '2008_000041.jpg')
        responded = False

            if  frameN == 30 :

            image.draw()
            win.flip()
        for frameN in range(20):
            print 'FRAME2 ',frameN
            win.flip()
        response = event.getKeys(keyList = ['space'], timeStamped = timer)

         
        if True:


            search_text = visual.TextStim(win, 'TEST' , wrapWidth=2, height=0.16)

            search_text.draw()
            
            win.flip()
            
            keys = event.waitKeys(keyList=['q','p','space'],timeStamped=timer)

            rt_space = -999
            wait = True
            
            
            for k in keys:
                if k[0] == 'space':
                    rt_space = [k[0],k[1]]
                if k[0] == 'q' or k[0] == 'p':
                    wait = False
            while wait:
                keys = event.waitKeys(keyList=['q','p'],timeStamped=timer)
                letters = [t[0] for t in keys]
                if ('p' in letters) or ('q' in letters):
                    wait = False

      
            win.flip()
            core.wait(1.5)
            
        print 'C'

I have provided a zip file at https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/video-comparisons/load.zip which you should be able to run to try and provoke the crash. My system is a Dell Optiplex 7040, Windows 7 Enterprise, PsychoPy 1.85.3, Anaconda 32-bit Python 2.7.
