sys.exit call from pythonw.exe gives error

[jepler at unpythonic.net]

I wrote the following small program:
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import sys, Tkinter
t = Tkinter.Tk()
b = Tkinter.Button(command=lambda: sys.exit(0), text="Click to exit")
b.pack()
t.mainloop()
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
and ran it with pythonw.exe from python 2.3.4 on a machine running Windows NT
4.0.  (I actually used Start > Run and entered "d:\python23\pythonw.exe x:\app.pyw"
rather than clicking on the app.pyw icon, but this shouldn't make a difference)

When the button is clicked, the application exits without giving any error like
the one you described.
