validator crash in webbrowser.py

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In python2.5 running transitfeed.py 1.1.6 or 1.1.7 on my fairly bare vmware
WindowsXP I got the following crash if I run the validator while firefox 2,
my default browser, is closed. Likely a webbrowser bug. The browser window
still opens and the crash does not happen if firefox is already running.

transitfeed version 1.1.7

File "C:\Documents and Settings\thecap\My
Documents\transitfeed-1.1.7\python\feedvalidator.py", line 304, in main
       if manual_entry:
