This is a tk issue, so the best way to fix this (if you don't want to
install something newer than Python 2.4 on Windows) is to install a
newer tcl/tk version.

Unfortunately the proposed workaround is way too specific, imagine if
other bindings had similar problems with different binding substitutions.

If we want to be safe, Tkinter should be passing only valid
substitutions for a given sequence but this is very awkward. But check
what the bind manual says ".. Some of the substitutions are only valid
for certain types of events; if they are used for other types of events
the value substituted is undefined.", note how it doesn't say ".. if
they are used for other types of events a segfault ensues".

resolution:  -> wont fix
status: open -> closed
