[mod_python] XML-RPC?

Having looked further at this it seems to be caused any time

xmlrpclib.loads() is used inside a mod_python handler. Even when the 
data being sent to loads() isn't being read() from the client. The same 
code ran from the command line does not raise an error. I can run the 
code with mod_python imported though. Is there some bad interaction 
between Apache, mod_python, and xmlrpclib (or prehaps one of it's parsers)?
