I faced this problem about 50 % of time when I hit
follwing commands on python shell.

But I think Crash of interpreter is not a expected
behaviour. It should throw some error even if I am
wrong/ hitting wrong commands

1. on shell of linux start python
   2 On python shell hit _doc__
   ( underscore doc underscore
   underscore )

So Python shell is crashed with following crash dump

darwin{akabra}6: python
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 24 2003, 19:13:11)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for

That's certainly not expected behaviour, however I think
it's unlikely to be a python bug -- I've not heard of this
behaviour before.

Is python using readline?

Please, could you verify if this problem persists in Python 2.3.4
or 2.4?

If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case?

If the problem is solved, from which version?

Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug
as "Won't fix".

Thank you!
