The intermittency sounds like a race condition, doesn't it? It might be worthwhile to look into the call that's extending the string and see if it could affect other data. Maybe objects are getting shuffled around? Don't put too much stock in this, I'm just speculating based on a bug I had in a C program years ago. I have no idea how CPython handles these things. -- Tom Zych / freethin...@pobox.com Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
