Thank you for the feedback. As I think was made very clear in earlier comments
(e.g. comment #4), this bug has not yet been identified, hence the status
Incomplete. There is absolutely no move from OpenERP to stop supporting
whatever version of Linux or Python you're using, nor to ask for recompiling
your own version, so there is no point complaining about that.

It's very simple: as we can *not* reproduce this error consistently, we cannot
even know if there is anything we can do within OpenERP to work around it. As
far as we know, OpenERP 6.1 is not different from 6.0 when it comes to writing
to the database using psycopg2.

If you have a hint or patch to help work around the problem in OpenERP, we'll
be glad to review it and merge it.

Thanks,
