The attached python test script produces interesting results.
When run on our UNIX systems of different flavors, it reports
string lines = 1004
marshaled lines = 1004
On our Windows platforms, we get
string lines = 1004
marshaled lines = 188
This has been run against Python 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 as well as Perforce
2002.2 and 2004.2
Any input is appreciated,
