Hi that resource looks really useful. And the problem is definitely 
related to the info there. Can you say what operating system you're on 
ie what does
	python -c"import sys;print sys.platform"
report? The linux info relates to those systems that report linux2 (I 
think), but I recently noticed the same problems myself on suc a system.
