However, running python 2.3 under valgrind produces floods of 'invalid read' and 'conditional depends on uninitialized value' errors before we ever get to the prompt, so this may well be a system-independent bug that only happens to expose itself on cygwin.

Are you sure these aren't false alarms? I believe I tried valgrind once on Python and every lead it gave me was a false alarm or something in libc. :-(
