I downloaded it with IE6 by clicking the link at
http://www.python.org/2.3.2/ 

I suspected that the files were the same, so I'm as surprised as you that
I got different results.

I've had no other problems with files downloaded via IE6 either before or
after this incident, and as I said, I repeated the exercise three times
and received identical results.

Ah well... Since I'm the only one it's happening to, let's chalk this one
up as another Windoze Mystery.
