Unfortunately threads and COM are tricky.  The short story is that you 
can't, in the general case, pass a COM object from one thread to 
another.  You need to google "COM threading models", and if you *really* 
want to pass objects between threads, the impressively named MSCOM 
function CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream (exposed via the 
pythoncom module).  The above mailing list has had a number of threads 
on this issue over the years...
