No offense to any of the fine Durus folks, but that is some seriously
evil code there.  We just upgraded Schevo to Durus 3.7 and so far
haven't had a problem with this, even though I've created databases
using "python -O" to do so.  I guess we got lucky in the atypical way
that we use Durus.  I just hope there aren't any more asserts with
side effects in the Durus code...

P.S.  Nice catch, David.  Glad you found that.
