Does this problem occurs with newer Python versions?

[Comment 3 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2011-01-18 15:08:32 UTC]

py2.6.6-r1 and py2.7.1 show this also.

[Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2011-01-18 15:35:35 UTC]

Please report this problem to upstream.

Since there's nothing new here, resolving as UPSTREAM.
