Summary: unrelated variable messing up doctests

Initial Comment:
Version 2.5b2 with IDLE 1.2b2 running on Windows XP 
Home, fully updated.

Unpack the attached zip file.
Open program.py, test_suite.py, in separate IDLE 
windows.  
Run test_suite.py.  
  8 passed and 0 failed.
Now add a variable at the top of program.py, any name 
will do.
  xyz = 2
Re-run test_suite.py.  
  7 passed and 1 failed !!

I haven't been able to isolate the problem, but it is 
repeatable.  Taking out blocks of unrelated statements 
changes the behavior.  Feels like a memory allocation 
error, or something strange.

On a Linux machine, both 2.4.3 and SVN HEAD report 7 tests
passed, one failed.

For both versions, the failure is: 
Failed example:
    _envrcpt('zz1 at open-mail.org')
Expected:
    CONTINUE [['zz1 at open-mail.org', 50, 2, 75, 101, '']]
Got:
    CONTINUE [['zz1 at open-mail.org', 50, 2, 75, 50, '']]

Can you try with SVN head?  There was an unitialized read
that the doctests could trigger.  It has been fixed. 
Perhaps you are running into that?
