Hi all,

I am using Adobe's OpenType FDK on my PowerBook G4 running MacOS
9.2.2.  I have had some weird crashing issues with the interpreter.
I am using the class version of Python 9.2.1 and 9.2.2.  Everytime
I crash, the MacsBug log I get says there is an umapped memory
exception in _tkinter.ppc.slb.  IF I disable CarbonLib 1.6, the
problems go away.  Have you heard of this and do you know of a
fix (aside from using the MacOS X version of the FDK).  I need the
Tkinter stuff for the classic FDK, which the 2.3 alpha does not have,
nor does the 2.2.1/2.2.2 Carbon version of Python.  And I cannot
use PYthon 2.1.x because the shared libs in the FDK are compiled
for Python 2.2.x.

Thanks and regards,

Tom
