On WinXP, it segfaults instantly, while trying to import site.py. I'm able to get into the interpreter by passing -S (skips importing site.py). Any attempt to run the test suite also segfaults instantly, even with -S.

I believe this is repaired now (gross error in new code; missing a break stmt before a new case in a switch stmt, so an old case fell into the new code by mistake, leading to a variety of insane behaviors).

Everyone, please run the test suite before checking code in! This isn't what I wanted to spend my smidgen of Python time on tonight.
