Python Interpreter Bug?

[Rakis]

    On my Mandrake Linux 8.2 machine (I tried both the out-of-the-box 
Python 2.2.0 interpreter and the latest 2.2.1 updates from cooker) the 
appended code executes as expected when compiled on the fly but dies 
when loaded from a ".pyc" file.

    Anyone want to verify this ?
