mod_python, COM, on win2k3 server

[drs]

Some details, and this is weirder than I thought.

It is working fine with internet explorer or mozilla as the client, but only 
crashes with Firefox.  Moreover, even while firefox is getting errors, IE 
stilll works fine.

The error I get is:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mod_python.publisher"
