mmh, interesting. it seems you're getting an NULL string object even
after the function checked for validity.

I use python 2.5 as well, and I've tested on different set ups.

could you please try cleaning up the clutter modules directories under:

   /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages 

and then reinstall? if that doesn't work, could you try applying the
attached patch and test again? thanks.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
