New Revision: 2545

URL: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/relax?rev=2545&view=rev
Log:
Added a try statement to catch the ImportError failure of the 'kill' function 
of the 'os' module.

This is a fix for bug #6841 
(https://gna.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=6841) which was reported
by Daniel Perez in the post at 
https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-users/2006-09/msg00000.html
(Message-id: <44F7FFCF.4060102@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>).

This import statement fails under MS Windows as the 'kill' function is UNIX 
only.
