Yep, after the thanksgiving delay I've opened bug #4482 (http://bugs.python.org/issue4482).

I either don't know how to or don't have the power to change who a bug is assigned to so it appears to be currently unassigned.

I think the inf one is a bug. Would you mind opening a bug and assigning
it to me? Thanks.
