It's reproducible in my machine: Arch Linux 64 bit running
Python3.1.5. Haven't figured out a fix yet, but trying to see if I
can.

By the way, I was wondering, what's our deprecation policy for
Python3.x? I saw that 3.1.5 was released in 2009, and there doesn't
seem to be any major updates coming soon. How long should we keep
supporting Python <3.2?
