Hi Jean-Paul ..

Thanks for your response .. I think your correct, I got an earlier email
from Andrew, and he pointed me in the same direction ..
I am investigating this new info now and I think that this appears to be
the problem ..

Thanks for your help ..

Cheers

Dave W.

This isn't the intended behavior.  The most common mistake which leads
to it is trying to use Twisted APIs such as these from a different
thread than the one where reactor.run() was called.  The only thread-
safe Twisted API is reactor.callFromThread.

You didn't say anything about threads in your post, so I don't know if
this is the problem you're having, but since it's so common I thought
I'd mention it.
