IDLE crash (2.0 with VPython) on unicode string

[Bernie]

Hi,

I am using Pyhton 2.0 (with VPython extension) on MS Windows 98, Second 
Edition (Chinese), and have encountered a crash when I try to use Unicode 
string.

I understand that the use of VPython did push back the IDLE version back 
to version 0.5.  I am trying to figure out if:

  -  it was a known bug and was fixed; or
  -  the crash was caused by VPython IDLE; or
  -  it is a new bug

Please try the following out on your IDLE:

a = u'¥d ¶ð º¸ ¥b ®q ¹q µø ¥x ©P ¥| ¼½ ¥X ¬ü °ê ¤E ¤@ ¤@ ŧ À» ¨Æ ¥ó '

Thanks!

Bernie
