Summary: Turtle.py hangs Idle

Initial Comment:
1 line fix:

After line 336's:
   root.destroy()
insert
   root.quit()

[Since IDLE is Tkinter based, the implict quit can't 
happen immediately.  Worse, the shell has difficulty 
resetting and using a ^C can leave a zombie process]

I've tracked down some more info:

It also happens on XP using 2.4.1 and Idle 1.1.1.

The way to trigger it is to start IDLE with no subprocess. 
The way that I got that to happen is to right click on
Turtle.py in Windows Explorer, and select "Edit with IDLE".

While the fix that I suggested still cures it, it may be
possible to achieve a better general solution by leaving
turtle.py alone, and fixing IDLE...

Sorry - should have included this:
NT4, Python 2.3.3
[This isn't an isolated case - I've had problems with other 
programs behaving similarly on my XP box (using 2.3.4), eg 
the pygame demos].   Windows only thing...?

What version of Python are you using?
I cannot reproduce this on Py2.3 or on Py2.4b1.
