When this is running, what happens if you hit Control-c a few times,
especially in the first few seconds? Does it abort with a
KeyboardInterrupt? Does it stop responding to Control-c after the window
fills up?
Note that IDLE slows down when very large quantities of text are printed
to the shell window. This is an issue with the Tk library.
The subprocess is supposed to exit when it notices that the socket has
closed. This doesn't work well on Windows, unfortunately. We are
thinking about it ;-)
It doesn't seem that what you are attempting to fix has any realistic
application.
I don't run Vista. Check your resources right after you start your
code. Is your system unresponsive because you are running out of memory
or because you are using CPU 100%?
