I've found the bug, and fixed it in CVS. It's also in the bugfixes
patch, and will appear in tomorrow's FTP snapshot.

The problem was a race condition on the deletion of Py_omniServant
objects -- there was a small window of opportunity for a thread to get
a reference to an object just as another thread was about to delete
it. Quite obvious once I found it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
