Spyder --light is not functioning

Spyder Version: 2.2.0
Python Version: 2.7.5
Qt Version: 4.8.4, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.9.6 on Windows 7

I've installed WinPython 64bit in C:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.1
The directory includes both Spyder.exe and Spyder (light).exe files.
Spyder.exe works fine. On the other hand Spyder (light).exe systematically crashes after briefly opening a shell and then displaying the splash screen for a split second. If I subsequently launch either application I get a warning window advising me to use the --reset option. Doing so does not modify what happens. Any clue?

Try to run 2.2.0 from source https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/NoteForContributors

Well, thank you for trying to help but that sounds too arcane for me, especially with WinPython running its own tidy directory -I don't want to mess that up.

I guess you should file this bug against WinPython - https://code.google.com/p/winpython/ , because Spyder is a Python application, and I don't know how these .exe files are produced.

Can you try running "Spyder (light).exe" from cmd.exe session to see if it outputs anything there?

Yes, thanks. Same results from the command prompt, with no output given.

Does --help option works in command prompt? I guess no, but just in case..

No that doesn't do anything...

I'm having a similar effect on a FreeBSD 9.1 platform.

Spyder 2.2.0
Python 2.7.5
py27-qt4-4.10.2

A regular spyder session runs fine. But from a Terminal running "spyder --light" or "spyder -l" briefly flashes the splash screen and then crashes. Upon restart it gives the --reset advice but that doesn't help.
The terminal output upon the crash is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Yes, I applied the revised patches and spyder --light works fine now.
