I received this problem report (Kurt is the IDLEFORK developer). Does anybody know what could be the matter here? What changed recently???

I find that

   while 1: pass

doesn't respond to a KeyboardInterrupt on Python2.3b1 on either WinXP or W2K. Is this generally known? I couldn't find any mention of it.

  while 1: a = 0

is fine on 2.3b1, and both work on Python2.2.
