I think the asynchat failure is essentially the same as the socket failure. 
There's a report that it goes away if you set up reverse mapping.

Sorry, this won't work. MacPython lives ain a fully mac-centric universe, with 
\r as line ending, mac:path:names in stead of /unix/path/names, no command 
line arguments, etc etc etc.

There's a lot of work to be done for a unified distribution, and we're still 
looking for people willing to help....
