Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:
The problem is reproducible on a current Debian Linux system although with
different results for current versions of Python (only security issues are
accepted against 2.6). Unlike with 2.6, 3.1 reports no error. 2.7 and 3.2
both fail with an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
