There is code that is fixed in CVS where (prior to the fix) each 
connection to the database had a SINGLE error handle for all errors to 
come back in -- this meant that an error caused by a different object on 
the same connection (a different cursor, a LOB, etc.) could be 
erroneously picked up due to thread swithing in Python.

The CVS version fixes this by making sure that each independant entity 
that could have a thread switch take place while it is "active" has a 
separate error handle.
