Yes, I've installed the python 2.4.4 on the machine in question and
after a recompile of lxml-1.1.2, everything seems to be working, minus a 
few test failures (that seemed to be the same as the ones on trunk?).

Thanks for both your help looking into this, and apologies for using up
your time with what was actually an unrelated issue (in my defense, the 
whole "1.1.2 fails/trunk works" is a nice bit of misdirection! ;).

If nothing else, hopefully this thread will help the next person who 
runs into this corner case.  :)

Thanks again,
Eli
