bitten-slave does not run on Solaris with authenticated trac instance

[Lutz <trac@…>]

When trying to start bitten-salve on Solaris, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have no idea what it means or what I could do about it, anyway, it does not work. Perhaps it's a bug, so I'd better file it.

This is a Python bug in urllib2. Upgrading to Python 2.4.3 or newer will fix the problem.
