Here is the very end of a very long output of unit.py run in Python
2.4.1 on WinXP Pro SP2:

[generating c++ code..]
*** compiling & running..
rm test.o test.exe
g++ -O3 -IG:/Downloads/Temp/ss2/shedskin -c test.cpp
g++ -O3 -IG:/Downloads/Temp/ss2/shedskin test.o
G:/Downloads/Temp/ss2/shedskin/libss.a -lgc -o test
output:
[3, 3, 3, 1097, 70201]

*** success: small factorization program by Rohit Krishna Kumar 124
*** no failures, yay!


:)

Well done. So what was causing that crash in test '__class__ and
__name__ attributes' after all?

I'll also try to test it on Win98.
