Interesting.  From my work I was under the impression that I knew ECMAScript 
and its implementations fairly well, yet I have never heard of this before.

What do you mean by “narrow build” and “wide build” and what exactly is the 
bug “narrow builds” of Python 3.2 have in common with JavaScript/ECMAScript?  
To which implementation of ECMAScript are you referring – or are you 
referring to the Specification as such?
