Thanks for your bug report and patch! The original 2.x version was pretty ugly code with a lambda that used default arguments, so I rewrote the line to be more modern; it now does ' all((x in abbrevs) for x in line.split())'. Committed my version to trunk to r79603, and to 3.x trunk in r79604. (A lot of pstats.py is pretty old-looking and could be tied up.)
