If true I hope that a new version is forthcoming on the 2.5 branch.  I
am running Python 2.5.2.  I was able to reduce the program to a
reasonably small version that exhibits the problem.  It is in two files
in ftp://ftp.druid.net/pub/distrib/Test_2.5.tgz including Fredrik
Lundh's simple XML-RPC server.  Just run the test program under 2.4,
2.5 and 2.6 to see the difference.
