Tkinter/IDLE crash

Use IDLE to create the program (or any editor you like), but run it from a
DOS box instead (e.g., save in file blah.py, then "python blah.py" from a
command line).  Then IDLE won't be affected.  IDLE is also using a Tk, and
the app is apparently telling that one to quit too.

As to other stories about mysterious instabilities on Win9x, they didn't
come with enough meat to judge.  The symtoms sounded more like they had
multiple copies of Tk DLLs on the machine and were picking up one or more of
the wrong ones.
