Summary: tkMessageBox.askyesno wrong result

Initial Comment:
Bug: tkMessageBox.askyesno can return wrong result. 
 
   Bug in python 2.3, built from source on SuSE 8.2 Linux box 
with gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux). 
 
   To demonstate bug: 
   1. Run attached program in a shell window under X. 
   2. Click "askyesno" button in main window. 
   3. Click "Yes" button in the new window. 
   4. Observe printed result "True" in shell window. 
   5. Click "openfiledialog" button in main window. 
   6. Cancel the file dialog (or select a file, it doesn't matter). 
   7. Click "askyesno" button in main window. 
   8. Click "Yes" button in the new window. 
   9. Observe printed result "False" in shell window. 
 
   Using the debugger in idle, one can see that the 
difference is that Tk returns "yes" to Python in step 3, but 
True in step 8. 
 
   In python 2.2 (as built by SuSE for 8.2), the printed result 
   is always "1" in steps 3 and 8.

I've just submitted patch 1018509 for this bug.
It is a quick fix ; i believe the real bug is in Tcl/Tk.

Tested on Linux with python HEAD from cvs. Bug could be
reproduced and is still present.

I have downloaded the file and executed it on windows 2000, 
py2.3.2 and could not observe this behaviour. I get both 
times true.
