Trackback plugin broke?

I just installed pyblosxom a day or two ago. I was trying to get the
trackback plugin working last night but had nothing but grief.

It seems it's broken at the moment. I even went of to Ted's site and test
out his trackback links (http://www.sauria.com/blog/) but they too were
bad. 

There seems to be a stray "Status: 200" string pushed to STDOUT which jams
the XML parser.

Found this:

out.write("Status: %s\n" % self.status) 

in pyblosxom.py

Removing it doesn't seem to effect anything other than the fact that it
cure this trackback problem. On top of that I also found some problems in
the trackback.py plugin directly.  Patch follows:

This is CVS code, checked out a day or two ago. I'm not that familiar with
pyblosxom but I suspect this plugin is using older calls/methods? Don't
really know but these fixes cure my problems.
