	Note, the spec file is out of date at the moment. That's the first
thing on my TODO list today.

	I fixed that yesterday. Truly bizarre. In protosession.py, we've this
function declared:

def safe_kill (pid, sig):
    try:
        os.kill (pid, sig)
    except os.error, (err, str):
        if err != errno.ESRCH:
            raise

	For whatever reason, it seems that the "str" variable in the exception
handler is defined at global scope or something and it causes the
problems we were seeing elsewhere in the module. I've really no idea how
exactly it was a problem but ...

	I've never seen that.
