[Zope] xml-rpc problem

[Alexis Roda]

Hi again,
finally I've got Zope working with COM, thanks to Andy McKay, Volker
Wend and Dmitry Dembinsky.

I have written an external method to convert word/excel documents to
PDF. This external method is stored on our windows server, and it runs
fine. My problem is that, if I run it through xml-rpc from our linux
server, it works only if I have run the windows external method first.
My english is not very good, so here's an example of what I mean:

I start both servers:

first I access http://linuxserver/some/dir/word2pdf it fails with
TypeError, too many arguments. Here word2pdf is an external method that
runs the window's word2pdf through xml-rpc

if I access http://windowserver/office/word2pdf it works fine every time

now, if I access http://linuxserver/some/dir/word2pdf it works ok

Here's the traceback:

Any suggestion to correct this problem?
