After much testing and installing-uninstalling, I found that the problem was
due to this: the desktop shortcut I was using to start XSI was not pointing
to the XSI directory ("Start in: (C:\Softimage\XSI_3.5.1\Application\bin").
It was calling a .ksh batch file, which did a couple of things then called
C:\Softimage\XSI_3.5.1\Application\bin\xsi.bat.
After correcting this, no more 222 lines of error messages when I start XSI.
The latest version I installed (Python 2.3.3 and pywin/win32all 201, as
suggested by Aloys) also showed this behavior. Not anymore.
Thanks to all who helped,
Christian
