Ok, this is seriously bizarre then.  I _do_ trap that very exception in 
ipython, damn it!

All I can say then is that I'll download ActivePython 2.2.1, install it here 
and try to reproduce the crash.  I need to produce the same behaviour on my 
own system to be able to help you further.  I'll download this and I'll drop 
you a line as soon as I make some progress.

Cheers,
