You can actually blame the unclear thinking on me. I really was
learning Python as I was writing those toy apps -- and it shows. ;)

If you are ever able to isolate the behavior, we'd love to know.

If you want some older, more experimental (read: *very* prototypey)
apps to play with, feel free to download the April 20, 2004 tarball
from Sourceforge (v0.994 -- long before the much cooler and much more
bug free repubsub came along):

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66293&package_id=64172

Insert disclaimer about it being old, buggy stuff here. But there are
some really interesting little apps lurking in there if you have some
time to spend and don't mind poking around.
