Please post a 'diff -u' between the smtplib.py that works and the one
that doesn't work.

Lionel says that effectively all he changed in your working version was
writing debug output to sys.stderr instead of stdout, and when I
diffed Lionel's version with the Python 2.3.4 base, that's the only
change I saw, but there must be something else in your case or else
simply enabling the debug prints causes the problem because of the
writes to stdout, but then what caused the original problem.

In any case, I am very interested to see if there is some other change
in your original smtplib.py that is causing it to fail.
