I've seen this, but haven't had a chance to really dive into it.  I'm
pretty swamped for the next few weeks, but if anyone wants to submit a
patch that works and passes the unit tests for python 2.2 - 2.4, I'd
probably accept it.  Next best would be to send me a test script that
calls urlgrabber and recreates the problem.

Note that url parsing has been reworked considerably since 2.9.6, so
you should make sure the most recent version (2.9.10) still exhibits
this behavior and apply any patches to that.
