Your right heh, I may have been over enthusiastic a little. Well, months
sound good for me. I have alot to do until I really need to be
programming python script myself plus I'm traveling to Mexico leaving
tommorow until june... I'm still in the process of porting my own
project to scons and subversion so don't worry for me, I can keep myself
busy until pyste get fixed. I will however make sure to get the latest
tnFox version as soon as I get back to see how it improved :)

yeah I figured as much... it was just my first lazy try until I
recompiled the whole thing in Debug mode and fired up ddd.

no rush, just thought you might enjoy having some more outputs...

duh, I knew that... just haven't thought about it last night :( blame
too much alcohol! Thanks!!

Sure did :-) 

TestStaticInit worked, as well as some others test... its a bit late so
I won't get into details. I'll wait until the next drop. Keep on the
good work my friend!
