Comment 1 for bug 666345

Thanks for the report. The test looks to be passing on Hudson, so I think we can rule out Python 2.4.

 * Do you get the failure reliably, or does it only happen from time to time?
 * Could you please try with latest trunk and see if you still get the failure?
 * If trunk still fails, could you please try this patch:
