Silly me! Thank's Duncan. This really confused me a lot.
Initially, I was sure it was one of these normal "I'm
sure it's obvious once I spot it" problems, but somehow,
I managed not to spot it for a very long time.
This feels very reassuring. I was starting to wonder if
there was something problematic with Python 2.3.2 on NT...
Lucky it was just me being blind! :)
