Hmm... It worked fine for me.  I'm using python 2.4.1 on windows XP.

I didn't see anything particularly wrong with the program that might 
cause the problem you are referring to.  So I'm afraid I can't help much.

Maybe someone with 2.3 can reproduce it?

BTW,  Nice puzzle, much harder than it looks.
