Thanks for taking the time to hammer on this.  I archived off my
binary module from the site-packages directory, uninstalled 2.4.3,
reinstalled using 2.4.4 and copied back in the item to the
site-packages directory, and everything is working now.  I can only
attribute it to bitrot, sun-spots, or some such oddity.

Thanks again.
