Hi, I've got a system with plain DOS 6.22 and DJGPP 2.03. I run the
doslfn TSR suggested by the PythonD homepage. Most everything seems to
work fine. I've got a packet driver loaded and a good wattcp.cfg
file, and environment variables that point to things such that other
watt-32 network apps (like lynx.exe and ftp32.exe) work well... 

I installed PythondD, and it also runs well--up to a point.  I can
">>> import re, sys, os, string" for example, and start python-ing
on my local machine like crazy.  However, if I attempt to import any
networking module (socket, urllib, urllib2, httplib, etc.) it crashes
out of python with a SIGSEGV, Page Fault at ... yada yada yada, etc.,
etc., etc... This _always_ happens, whether I run python from
command.com, or under bash; whether I've got the doslfn loaded, or
not... 

I can provide more details if anyone cares to try and help me... But
obviously I'm hoping someone can recognize exactly what stupid mistake
I've made, or detail I've overlooked, and can give me a quick answer.

Thank you!
