Idle bug

[Jive Dadson]

To the keepers of the bug list, whoever they may be.

Start Idle under Windows NT 4.x (idle.pyw).  Import the following module that's 
included at the bottom of this message.  (It's from the book _Core Python Programming_ 
by Wesley J. Chun.)  Idle will lock up.  You have to kill it from the Task Manager.
