It doesn't seem to work. I've tried it about fifty times (about ten
different runs on various recursive algorithms, clicking it about five
times each until I give up), and it has worked exactly one time.

Is there anything more useful for breaking out of infinite loops /
bottomless recursion / unexpectedly slow algorithms that doesn't bring
down Pythonwin too?
