Sorry for the late response but if you can document how to reproduce the 
crashes or have a crash report that would be great.  But, first, are you 
sure you were using IDLE 3.2 and not the Apple-supplied IDLE 2.6 in OS X 
10.6?  The latter will definitely exhibit that behavior.  If you are 
installed Python 3.2 from one of the python.org installers, IDLE 3.2 
will be available in /Applications/Python 3.2/ or as 
/usr/local/bin/idle3.2.
