Summary: unexpected endless loop

Initial Comment:
This is the simplified example of code that causes 
endless loop.
Save it in file (i.e. bad.py) and run "python bad.py"

Tested on 2 pc with FreeBDS and Python 2.1.1
on Win32 with py 1.5.2 compiler says:
SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop (line 7)

##################################################
k = 0
print "Start"
while 1:
    k=k+1
    if k>2: break
    try: 
        if k>1: continue
    except: pass
########################EOF#######################


removing of try/except
makes execution normal.
Though in example usage of try/except is unnecessary -
this was taken from live application where it was 
necessary.

That could well be, which would explain why I cannot
reproduce it. Closing as fixed.

Isn't this the problem that was fixed in version 2.277 of
ceval.c?

IOW, get 2.1.2 or 2.2.

I cannot reproduce this problem. Can anybody else? For
easier extraction from the report, I attach the script in
question as a.py.
