Something's not working for me. I get lots of exceptions like this
every time I type anything into the find box:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

    tag_add("findmark", start_idx, start_idx + add_string_len_str)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: '_tkinter.Tcl_Obj' and 'str'

According to the About box, I'm on Python 2.6 and Tk 8.5.
