You're right. I *never* had this issue before. I'm sure that there's a
bug somewhere -- mainly because changing the slashes in DrPython code
to double-backslashes solved my problem -- but I'm still trying to
figure it out. I'm using Python 2.3.2 (not the latest and greatest
version, I know), because I'm normally very conservative with my
development tools. I'll try to reproduce it and post it to the list.
