This usually happens when you try to do I/O and have the stream set to 
be non-blocking. Instead of blocking the C library returns EAGAIN which 
Python turns into a "Resource temporarily unavailable" exception. If 
that's what you meant then you need to catch that exception and then try 
the I/O again later when the stream is available. I don't know if 
mp3togo sets stdout to be non-blocking or if something else is doing it 
-- perhaps Mandriva has compiled their C library to have non-blocking 
set by default. The following code turns blocking back on for stdout

import fcntl
import sys
import os
flags = fcntl.fcntl(sys.stdout, fcntl.F_GETFL)
if flags & os.O_NONBLOCK:
     print "removing O_NONBLOCK from sys.stdout"
     fcntl.fcntl(sys.stdout, fcntl.F_SETFL, flags & ~os.O_NONBLOCK


You could attempt cutting and pasting that code into mp3togo right 
before the call to main() and see if that fixes things.
