The issue is that, in Python 2.4, you don't get try-except-finally - you
get try(try-except)-finally, but that's not what's in this file.
Changing the try-except-finally block to be a try-finally block with the
try-except as its contents (starting at line 414, ending at line 451)
fixes this problem.
