Summary: Tk.IntVar.get fails after set(True) in 2.3a1

Initial Comment:
Executing the following fails in 2.3a1.  Similar code 
works in 2.1 and 2.2.

def truebug():

    import Tkinter
    Tk = Tkinter
    top = Tk.Toplevel()
    f = Tk.Frame(top)
    f.pack()
    var = Tk.IntVar()
    box = Tk.Checkbutton(f, anchor="w", 
text="box",variable=var)
    box.pack()
    var.set(True)
    val = var.get()

Example:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
...
Python 2.3a1 (#38, Dec 31 2002, 17:53:59) [MSC 
v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
...
>>> import truebug
>>> truebug.truebug()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "c:\prog\test\truebug.py", line 15, in truebug
    val = var.get()
  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 239, in get
    return getint(self._tk.globalgetvar(self._name))
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): True
