[omniORB] Multiple Inheritence and threading.Thread

[Thomas A. Moulton]

Joe,

Thanks for the feedback.  Very interesting observation between Python 
2.2 and 2.3.  I appreciate the workaround suggestion.  I was going in 
that direction; however, I've grown so accustomed to using multiple 
inheritance with threading.Thread, having to approach the problem any 
other way just doesn't seem right!

Thanks,

Tom
