x Python 2.1 nested scope of class within a function def will cause
  the debugger to segfault when the tracer hits a 'class' defn within the
  function. This is a bug in Python 2.1.0 but was fixed in 2.1.1.  A
  work-around for Python 2.1.0 is to use wingdbstub and issue the SuspendDebug() 
  call before the problem code is hit, and ResumeDebug() afterwards.
x Upgrading doesn't always work when bug fix patches have been applied.
  Uninstalling completely first works.
x Cannot debug files on \\machine\path\to\share directories that aren't mapped to
  a drive letter.
x External change checking does not work for Samba volumes
x Debugger may fail to report errors occurring during initial load of the 
  debug program; if this happens, turn on debug.verbose or set debug.logfile 
  preferences and try again; debug output will be shown in stderr or the 
  given log file (which must exist or else logging will be disabled)

* New Blank Window from the file menu sometimes requires a click on the window
  to get a newly opened view to appear in it instead of another window
* On win32 dual monitors, pull down menus show up on the primary monitor
  even if the window is on the secondary monitor.

- Wing can time out during startup of Zope in some cases if files have been
  altered outside of Wing.  Removing all breakpoints before starting Zope 
  works around the problem.
- AnyGUI's msw (PythonWin) back end breaks Pause and altering breakpoints
  while the debug process is free-running.  Tk back end is known to work, 
  as should also wx and qt.
- Break point margin click doesn't work in source browser window
- Editor scrolling is off by one pixel on win32:  Artifacts appear at bottom 
  and right if window is just the right size.
- About box image sometimes looks odd when running on a display in 256 
  color mode.
- Debug attach may fail in some cases on win32, usually after repeated
  detach and reattach.
- Windows menu slowly grows horizontally over time, as it is used
