sorry, I can't look into this until tomorrow...

Thomas, there should be code in there to prevent displayhook from
firing based on the compilation mode: when code is compiled in
'single' mode, displayhook will fire, but if it's compiled in 'exec'
mode, it won't.  There's actually different bytecode produced by
python itself based on the mode flag.

I thought I had made sure that for multiline blocks we always produced
'exec' mode, but something must have slipped through the cracks...

Cheers,
