Now it is getting wacky was( Re: A modest Error (I mean Proposal))

[Arinte]

I change my code to look like this

 def IOCTL(self, command, dargs):
  command1 = long(0)
  if type(command)==type(2):
   poss.write("IOCTL was int")
   command1 = long(command)
   poss.write("IOCTL Set to Long");
  else:
   if type(command) == type("  "):
    poss.write("IOCTL was a string")
    command1 = command
   else:
    if type(command)!=type(2L):
     poss.write("IOCTL fail")
     return -1
  self.dump();
  poss.IOCtl(self.devname,command1,dargs) #make this pass the ioctl command
as an PossArg with a special name
  print len("1234567")  #ADDED THIS LINE
  return 0

Just to test len.  And now my program works???? If I remove this line or
even just remove the print it doesn't work???
Now what ??? If anything.  Another not here that critical print statement
doesn't print the len of the string either...

OK, so we've narrowed it down some. Maybe that's what happens between
those two calls.
