In theory that's fixable; that all comes from the fact that 2.3 is now
loading more modules at startup. In fact, last June Guido declared that
a must-fix bug, but it dropped below the radar and we had to punt when
Apple needed 2.3 quickly. Anyone who wants to take a stab at working on
it would be most welcome.
