firmwaretool --bootstrap fails with dell_inventory_collector installed

[Kaj Niemi]

Hi,


Seems like the python code relying on dell_inventory_collector  
spectacularly bombs if it is installed. I'm kind of reliably  
reproducing this on repurposed PE2950s (at least) and RHEL4. Things go  
back to normal if I uninstall the inventory collector.
