Well, good look in court, then...!-) Seriously, looks like we've omitted a SO_REUSEADDR somewhere in the IDLE startup code, so that abrupt termination of an IDLE socket keeps the socket non-reusable for a while; if so, then ZoneAlarm seems innocent for once (try disconnecting your computer from the net, terminate ZoneAlarm, and see if you can reproduce the bug). I can't look into it right now, but if you open a bug on the Python bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5470) somebody will (look into it, for sure, and hopefully fix it in time for 2.4.3).
