Summary: Compiler is not thread safe?

Initial Comment:
r = '''
a(b(c[d]))
'''
from threading import Thread
from compiler import parse
Thread(target = parse, args = (r,)).start()

leads to 
Bus error (core dumped)

When runs not in thread everything is OK.
OS FreeBSD 5.4.
Python 2.5.1 (seems that 2.5 also has this error)
(Runs perfectly on Linux, and on FreeBSD with Python 2.4)

No problem either on Windows with 2.4.3 and 2.5 (2.5.1 untested)
