wierd win32all gui problem (w/56lines of code)

[Jeffrey Drake]

Using ActivePython 2.1 and win32all I have written a simple app that creates
a window and exits when closed. However the python interpreter is still
running. It hangs a command prompt under win2k until I physically kill the
python process. I would appreciate any help possible.
