That is highly, highly nasty.
Yes.
Sounds to me like there ought to be an emergency 2.1.1 patch made for this, bumping Thomas's work to 2.1.2 if necessary.
Really? Two mild counterpoints: 1) It's *old*; 1.5.2 at least, and that's only because that's the oldest version I happen to have lying around. It's quite similar to the test_mutants oddness in some ways. 2) There's at least one other crasher in 2.1; the one in the compiler where a variable is referenced in a class and in a contained method. (I've actually run into that one). But a "fix these crashers" release seems reasonable if there's someone with the time to put it out (not me!).
And if we can trojan in the NAIPL (New And Improved Python License), I wouldn't mind. :)
Well me neither... Cheers, M.
