I'll try to reproduce this. Can you tell me the version of Python you
are running.

[Collin Bennett]

I can reproduce this error if I use Python 2.4.2. It looks like this
issue is Python bug 1478429 and based on the date, it seems that
this fix wasn't released until at least python 2.4.4.

If you are using a ver >= 2.4.4, please let me know and I will look
into this some more.
