Summary: Change in cgi.parse_qs breaks sb_server in Python 2.4

Initial Comment:
cgi.parse_qs has changed behaviour between 2.3.4 and 2.4a1.

Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import cgi
>>> cgi.parse_qs("")
{}
>>> cgi.parse_qs("", 1)
{}

Python 2.4a1 (#54, Jul  8 2004, 11:30:13) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import cgi
>>> cgi.parse_qs("")
{}
>>> cgi.parse_qs("", 1)
{'': ['']}

This breaks the sb_server web interface, because we get
a {'': ['']} dict passed as kwparams to the onX
functions, and they aren't expecting that.

Adding "if query == '': cgiParams = {} else" to
Dibbler.py at line 391 fixes this, but I'd like to
check with you that that's a valid fix before checking
it in.  (You use Dibbler elsewhere, right?)

FWIW, after applying the cgi.py patch sb_server seems to
work with Python 2.4a1.

I believe this is a bug in Python 2.4, and I've submitted a 
patch to fix it, number 993062.
