This is a buglet in ExternalMethod where an exception has been raised and
caught by ExternalMethod, and EM is looking at the values of the traceback
for some special conditions.  It's trying to do a string.lower() call on
one of the values that in Python1.4 was always a string, but in Python1.5.x
is an instance (in Python 1.5, standard exceptions became classes).  This
has been fixed and will be in the next release.
