XMLRPC calls don't work in threads, or rather, they don't play well with others ! (help)

Ok. Sorry to waste everyone's time. This seems to be a machine-specific 
problem. I put together a test case to demonstrate it, and it worked (on 
a different machine). On the original machine (running and identical 
OS/python version) the problem still persists, so I'll have to figure 
out what's wrong with that specific machine.  Very odd. Thanks everyone.
