I can only guess what you're talking about since I haven't seen the
message from Drew (was it not sent to the list? Or did I accidently
delete it in the piles of spam I receive?).

I was still using a hacked version of dispatcher from the cookbook,
and my workaround for the crashes (once I discovered the reason) was to
disable gc at the beginning of the weakref callback functions and enable
it at the end again.

HTH,
