IDLE crashes when I rapidly (within 1/2 second, maybe) 
click the Run, then Options menus on the menu bar.  
These seem to be the only menus for which the crash 
happens, which is odd.  I'm running Windows XP SP1 on 
an AMD system using Python 2.3.3

Update:  With a little more expirimentation I found that it often 
crashes whenever any of the last 3 menus (Options, Windows, 
Help) are clicked. It works fine if another menu is clicked then 
the mouse is moved over one of the last three menus to open 
it.  I also noticed that after crashing the program many times 
to determine the problem, I see about twenty pythonw.exe 
processes running in Windows Task Manager.

Kurt, have you heard of this before?

I can't duplicate this on W2K using 2.3.4 or 2.4a1.  Please try 2.4a2
when it comes out and if this issue is still there please provide the
code which was running and whether you used F5 or the menu to
start the run.
