I seem to have turned up a race condition in the ThreadPool class.

Here's a patch for an aggressively locked version of the

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments (and thanks  
for the XML-RPC library -- you might be happy to know that it's  
running on machines at the South Pole!)

Here's the patch:
