Sorry, I should have written back with my findings.  I had run into the
problem described in this email:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-June/090863.html.  See, I
was using bare execs elsewhere in the program.

It had nothing to do with the lambda, which ended up working perfectly once
I fixed the exec.

Thanks!
