Sorry, was busy doing work for a client.

The code was from CVS.
I see you've worked with sjoerd to resolve the problem.
I've confirmed the fix in CVS on my IRIX system,
given the CVS version of Sept. 12, 2001.

(This comment is only because I'm used to a process
where the original bug submitter should confirm any
fixes before it's closed.  I know that isn't the std.
Python/SF way, but old habits die hard :)
