The attached patch is not entirely correct, I'm not yet uploading an 
updated patch because the fix is obvious.

I cannot reproduce this with a the 2.6.2 installer (build on PPC) nor 
with a recent build from subversion (python-trunk, build on X86). My 
tests were done on a PPC G4 iMac running the following version of OSX:

ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.4.11
BuildVersion:	8S165

Xcode is:

$ xcodebuild -version
Component versions: DevToolsCore-660.0; DevToolsSupport-651.0

I'm currently installing 10.5 server in a VM, and will try to test that 
as well (using Rosetta). I don't have access to a PPC machine running 
10.5 server, the 10.4 system I mention above cannot be easily 
reinstalled.

BTW. I intend to commit the fixed version of my patch regardless of 
whether this fixes the issue because it is slightly more correct to 
fetch CoreFoundation symbols directly from the CoreFoundation framework 
instead of relying on SystemConfiguration's "connection" to that 
framework.
