I've used the following to stop runaway code in the IDLDE...

# press the "break" button (which gets ignored)
# attempt to close the IDLDE environment
# reply "no"

It then appears to process the break command *before* it restarts the
program. This method has worked for me a number of times, although no
guarantee is offered!
