Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

I have more info. It is a thread problem. The program is a socket server 
with a custom crypto module. I launch a thread to start the main loop to 
listen for new connections. For each new connection, I launch a new thread 
that handles that connection. In that thread I try and call a method from 
my crypto module and I get the error in the subject.

If I do not use a thread for the server loop, it does not give the error. 
The method is called fine, the data decrypted, then unpickled and life is 
good. There is a problem however... I have no ____ing clue why that 
happens. Does anyone in python devel know what triggers that error msg?

thanks,
Dan
