Summary: Solaris: reentrancy issues

Initial Comment:
Version: 2.3.4
Platform: Solaris (possibly other non-Linux).

In some cases reentrant API functions (ctime_r etc) are
used, but many cases not.  It's unlikely that this
would cause problems on single-processor machines. Run
the attached script giving Python source tree location
as argument.  A file report.html will be generated
detailing where there could be problems.

NB:  The script isn't foolproof and will come up with
matches to text inside comments as well.

I fail to see the bug. I believe Python uses the reentrant
functions at precisely the places where it is necessary, and
is right in using the non-reentrant functions in all other
places. To my knowledge, the way that Python uses the
non-reentrant functions cannot possibly cause problems even
on multiprocessor machines.

So I'm closing this report as invalid. If you can find an
actual problem using your script, please submit a new bug
report.
