I can see these as a work around.

But my major issue is after XXXXXX number of copies, Python seems to
kill the underlying OS.

Maybe this is a memory leak from a Applescript "engine" issue, or
something....  So it may not be Python's fault...

But we need to fix it...  Or inform Apple to fix it, if it is on their 
part...

My real request is to help isolate this, so that I can file a bug report
with Apple...

Shelling to the OS and using Ditto, cp, or cpmac really does not
solve the problem, it hides it...
