I agree that this needs to be investigated, b/c valid code shouldn't result in a syntax error. But just to make sure there's no misunderstandings: Python2.4.1rc1 fixed the crashes.
And the generated file is 1.5Mb big; I think I should not post it as - is but rather compress it? What's the best advice on attaching such large files?
