Summary: simple moves freeze IDLE

Initial Comment:
Using version 2.5 for Windows...

import os

then type "print os." and wait for the 
hint window. then scroll to the bottom (spawnv).

That's it. At this point IDLE is frozen.

I have done it a few times in a row. It seems
very reproduceable to me.

Be well. Doug

I can reproduce this on 2.5 beta 2, and it dies exactly when
'spawnv' is highlighted.  I have no suggested fixes, only
reproducing to verify that this is not user-specific bug.
