Thanks, I'll try the fix when I get home. However, I should reiterate that I'm not seeing a timeout (which would cause an exception, right?). It's just that I (eventually) issue an applescript command which seems to go nowhere.
As I understand the id-rollover bug: 1) it will cause events which want a reply to eventually timeout. 2) which would trigger a python exception I'm not sure how that would be at play here since: 1) the command I'm sending doesn't (apparently) need a reply 2) I'm not getting exceptions. Did I missunderstand something?
