    When I shut down IDLE on Windows 2000 Professional
    running Python 2.2.1 I get a popup with "TclNotifier:
    pythonw.exe - Application Error" in the name bar
    and "The instruction at "0x77fcb144" referenced memory
    at "0x00b3300010". The memory could not be "read"."
    in the message box.

    I'm sure you see this, and it's probably a bug somewhere, but
    nobody else is seeing this. We tested IDLE and Python 2.2.1
    on Windows 2000 and we don't see this here. So I doubt
    you're going to have much luck getting this fixed.

    Do you have a virus detector installed? Try turning it off.

    I have a Norton AntiVirus 2001. When I shut it down, IDLE
    then works fine. When I turn it back on, IDLE still works
    fine. Amazing.

    Antivirus software is one of the leading causes of
    mysterious Python failures.
