Hi,
I have just noticed that the pydoc gui for both python 2.7 and 3.2 is broken.

$ pydoc2.7 -g
Exception in thread Thread-1:

TclError: out of stack space (infinite loop?)

Jasper verifies this on his system too.
I have tried doubling the stack allowance with similar results. I think
the error message is likely to be correct, ie. Infinite loop. The
default 4096K should be more than enough anyway.
