SF bug 546078: IDLE calltips cause application error.
Assorted crashes on Windows and Linux when trying to display a very long calltip, most likely a Tk bug. Wormed around by clamping the calltip display to a maximum of 79 characters (why 79? why not ...). Bugfix candidate, for all Python releases.
