Not always: How exactly do I use this function on my Solaris machine
?-) Of course, on *Windows* there probably always is that
possibility...

There is a bug report on SF on this problem,

http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5470&func=detailbug&bug_id=110683

Would you consider posting a patch to SF to correct the error? If
there is an easy fix, it may get included into Python 2.0, still.
