Please apply the first patch only, the error i fixed using the second patch 
is based on 
a failed installation of PyCrypto libraries.
The PyCrypto windows installer (see the link in my description) will install 
the lib correctly, so my patch is 
useless, libnetmd.py works fine as it is.

I have not tested my changes on linux and mac, would anyone do this please?.
I have a clean Ubuntu 10.10 installation only and have to install many 
packages first. 
I hope this won´t fail on linux/mac, i just used another way of starting a 
child process.
