[Python-3000] IDLE in new py3k

[Kurt B. Kaiser]

After a clean checkout in py3k, IDLE fails even w/o subprocess...

trader ~/PYDOTORG/projects/python/branches/py3k$ ./python Lib/idlelib/idle.py
Fatal Python error: PyEval_SaveThread: NULL tstate
Aborted

trader ~/PYDOTORG/projects/python/branches/py3k$ ./python
Python 3.0x (py3k:56858, Aug  9 2007, 12:09:06) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20061027 (prerelease)] on linux2

>>> 

trader ~/PYDOTORG/projects/python/branches/py3k$ ./python Lib/idlelib/idle.py -n
Fatal Python error: PyEval_SaveThread: NULL tstate
Aborted

Any ideas on where to look?
