Everything known about it is in the bug report.

Posting this info to Python-Dev doesn't do any good.  Add it to the bug
report!  Be sure to say which version of Python you were using (the report
only mentioned 2.2; there's not even any info there about 2.2.1).  The last
activity that report saw was Martin saying he couldn't reproduce it in
2.3a0, and to date nobody has added a comment saying they could reproduce
it.

Based on what's there (an unconfirmed report against 2.2, and a failure to
reproduce under CVS), I wouldn't give it high priority either.
