That's right: nothing at all. But note I compiled this particular 
version myself, so I guess it's possible I didn't enable threads.

[Re-installs standard 2.5.1 for Cygwin].

Strange how hotel network bandwidth always seems to drop to that of a 
piece of wet string when you really need performance ... oh well, at 
least now I know how long it take to download Python at 22.6 kb/s :-)

Nope, sorry, same results after reverting to the standard install. Runs 
to completion with no error dialog nor output.
