[Fedora-suds-list] Weird error dealing with SalesForce.

[David Lanstein]

Strangely, I just got an email today off-list about this.  It seems to be 
happening with 0.4, not with 0.3.9, on my to-do list is to make sure all the 
unit tests pass with 0.4 as well.  Joshua, does the error go away with 0.3.9?
