$ idle -n 
(Tk window appears) 
(Some traceback in red?) 
(Tk window disappears) 

screenshot appended.

bug submitter writes that idle -n in Windows works (not
sure, if he tested 2.3.x or 2.4).

idle from 2.4a0 works ok.

PyShell rev 1.81.4.4
Bug exhibits in release23-maint only.
Debian is using unreleased code from CVS, I neglected
