[Pythonmac-SIG] Python on on a second drive

There's a bug report on the sourceforge site that having Python on a
second drive causes problems with warm restarts (they don't proceed
past the happy mac state). Actually the problem may be only with
removable drives, the bug report isn't very clear, and it is anonymous 
so I can't ask the original submitter.

The submitter seems to think that the problem is with PythonCore being
an alias to an external drive. I can hardly imagine this, but I can't
test it as I don't have a second drive.If someone could give this a
try that would be helpful. Also, if it indeed turns out to be a
problem i think a workaround may be to set the "File has no INIT"
flags on the alias file, so if  that could be tested too I'd be very
happy...
