You'd think, wouldn't you?  But I've done that.  That's what it looks 
like to me as well, I did a little snooping in MacsBug -- which I hardly 
understand at all -- and it looks like it's definitely coming from python 
doing free(), not one of the libraries.

I don't suppose MetroWerks allows it's libraries to be distributed...?

Or, is there a way to simply disable DebugStr's?  This is only for 
development, the final thing will be run on Solaris, but's *really* 
annoying to have to always hit cmd-g and have the screen-flipping shock.

In any case I'd say it's a testament to the skill of those involved that 
this works at all.  ;)  THANKS
