[.. re problems running WMI in a service ...]

| Changing the path didn't do anything, but changing the name of the
| module to my_wmi did the trick.

Thanks for the feedback; I'll try to find the time to
experiment a bit but I know I've used the change-the-name
trick in the past. It has been suggested that I permanently
change the module name, but I'm a bit loth to do that. Mark
(Hammond) was talking about a patch which would prevent 
imports from picking up the false .dll, but I don't know
if it's gone anywhere.
