Summary: import _tkinter python dumps core.

Initial Comment:
We are trying to build python on a HP-UX 11.00 using gcc
3.1. But when it  comes to the stage when it tries to
load _tkinter i.e. 
   import _tkinter
python dumps core.

running gdb on the core file gives us that it get's a
segfault on the line Python/import.c:210 i.e 
	if (interp->modules == NULL)
and yes, interp is null...
any clue how to continue?

Things like this are notoriously hard to debug.

Perhaps GCC 3.1 has a bug (it's rather new, and HP-UX is an
infrequently used platform for this compiler).

Could you try with an older GCC version? I don't think I've
seen this report before.

Are there problems with any other modules? Does the test
suite run successfully?
