This sounds like it does the opposite of what we
want...merges the processes instead of completely
seperating them. I tried running IDLE with it and then
forcing my pygame code to crash. IDLE will normally
zombify(unresponsive) if I do that and make me kill it
manually; but with -n it completely blew up and gave
me a MSVC crash box. So my conjectures are: we are not
running the same program and -n is doing something
completely different for you guys, the OS running this
is a factor, or I'm doing a better job at making
crashy code.
