Summary: Calls from VBScript clobber passed args
Initial Comment:
I'm using Python 2.4.0 and VBScript under ASP on IIS 5. If I call a
Python function from VBScript AND pass a local var as the first
parameter AND don't use the return value, then the local var I
passed in is, upon the function's return, set to Null.
If I store the return value (even if there isn't one) OR pass the return
value to another function, this doesn't happen. I'm attaching some
snippets that demonstrate and work around the bug.

Let me refine the description a bit: the bug doesn't clobber only a local var
passed as the *first* param; it clobbers the first local var passed, whether
it's the first param or not. For example,
call go(x)
clobbers x, as I've said before, but...
call aTwoParamFunction("somethingStatic", x, y)
clobbers x as well! y is not clobbered.
