I am developing an application that does a lot of image manipulation.  Many 
of my web pages may have 10 to 75 entries similar to:
        <img src="ShowPix.py?pid=23&tn=256">

The ShowPix.py program does 4 calls to MySQL (thru MiddleKit), reads the 
image from the filesystem, manipulates the image (reduces it in size, draws 
on it) and outputs the image.

I was rarely getting an error "TypeError: unbound methox processFields() must 
be called with ShowPix instance as first argument (got ShowPix instance 
instead)".  This would happen on my first function call within ShowPix on the 
line:
        processFields(self,req)

I was having this problem once a week or month, almost always on my first 
image display on a freshly started AppServer.  I recently swapped some PC 
hardware and and am now developing on a PC with a faster CPU and a slower 
hard drive.  I now get these errors frequently, sometimes 30 of 75 image 
displays on a single page will fail (worst case).  Sometimes the point of 
failure will change as well, and the failure comes on a function call deep 
within ShowPix.

This problem occurs on both Mandrake Linux 8.2 and Windows/ME.  On my new 
development PC I have downloaded the current version of everything within the 
past 2 weeks (Apache is version 1.3.26 as the 2.x version doesn't work on 
W/ME yet).

I have rewritten the ShowPix module to eliminate the MySQL access and am 
slowly migrating to the new module.  I am not sure this fixes the problem, as 
I don't fully understand the problem.  Any advice will be appreciated.
