Thanks for the report and the version clarification.  This wasn't a
known bug but it is now.  IronPython was mostly written before CPython
2.4 came out.  We're currently going through the regression tests from
CPython 2.3 so that we can improve correctness before we take the time
to implement new 2.4 features.  Before we release IronPython 1.0 we plan
to be running the regression tests for 2.4 if not 2.5.

Thanks - Jim
