So far, the only time that I use the threading in threaded Python
is when I run the regression test. I have only seen the hang is one
thread related regression test: test_threadedtempfile.py. This test
spawns a lot of threads which I guess increases the probability that a
hang occurs. Maybe under normal conditions, the race condition won't
happen too frequently (of course, until I release a threaded Python...).
Norman, would you care to comment on the above? Do you use threaded
Cygwin Python? If so, have you seen this or other thread related hangs?
Thanks,
Jason
