The only thing I had to change about this was to assign the
additional class variables before calling super() because in
the __init__() method of the base class my overloaded handle()
method is already called which needs those extra variables.

Thanks a lot, that's now all working perfectly well and I got
rid of those pesky global variables;-) Probably the guys that
wrote the SocketServer module indeed didn't expect people as
dense as me to use their module and thus didn't mention that
passing additional information to a handler object can be done
this way...
