Migrating GP services from 10.6 to 10,8.1. Here is a case of a GP service being called from JSAPI that worked fine in 10.6 and now in 10.8.1 after migration fails with an error I haven't seen before:
"Instance of Service Crashed.... Containing Process has Crashed"
Full error message below although not much more helpful. There are no separate error logs as referenced in the message below.

I know that my Python code on server starts executing and reports status of "Executing" back to webpage. It also does some logging for me. But it doesn't finish. No amount of exception handling I have tried tells me where it fails and the usually helpful AGS output in
/jobs/...../scratch/messages.xml
isn't helping. It looks like this:

which I've also not seen before. Usually there are some familiar Python errors in there to launch you into debugging.
Last week, I patched this for some other print service related issues, as mentioned in this thread. I found a technical article suggesting this may be caused if Python in (un)installed separately from ArcGIS. I installed Python along with ArcGIS Server but not in the default path. Before I start messing with registry, would this be expected behavior when having Python on D:\ or E:\? Also wouldn't I be seeing issues with other features of ArcGIS Server leveraging Python? Also the wrong path would keep Python from starting to run.
Any feedback or insights into what my cause this error is appreciated
