[Tutor] IDLE Crashing

[Michael Meier]

I'm also having trouble when running IDLE under Debian 3.1 (Kernel
2.6.12). I often run into the same problem (IDLE not responding with the
only solution to killall idle) as Adam Gomaa just after starting up IDLE
and typing in some characters.

E.g. I'm starting up IDLE and typing in "import soc" when IDLE suddenly
stops responding. This happens while I'm typing and _not_ when executing
a line or a bunch of code.

This phenomenon is not reproducable, it just happens from time to time.
Unfortunately it happens rather often which does not amuse me ;)


Does anyone experience the same problem as I? Is there a common solution
to Adams and my problems?

Thanks,
Michael Meier

P.S. I'm new to this list... I think its a very interesting and friendly
place to be :)
