python-2.4.3-1 problem with urllib2

["Chris AtLee" <chris at atlee dot ca>]

The attached python script works fine under python-2.4.1-1.  Under
python-2.4.3-1, I get this output:

Using urllib.urlopen
......................................................................................................................................................
Using urllib2.urlopen
.............................................................................................Traceback
(most recent call last):
 File "test-urllib.py", line 42, in ?
   doRequest2("http://localhost:8010";)
 File "test-urllib.py", line 16, in doRequest2
   f = urllib2.urlopen(url)
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 130, in urlopen
   return _opener.open(url, data)
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 358, in open
   response = self._open(req, data)
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 376, in _open
   '_open', req)
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 337, in _call_chain
   result = func(*args)
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 1021, in http_open
   return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 996, in do_open
   raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unable to select on socket>

This happens after a consistent number of requests on my machine.

Cheers,
Chris
