Yes.  I've just exited from the python interpreter, restarted
it, and now it works fine, too.  I guess I must have broken
something during experimentation in my previous interpreter
session.  Don't ask me how I did that ...  :-(

I'm sorry for the confusion and the false alarm.

However, the small error in string.split.__doc__ still exists.
;-)
