Wow, I really screwed that up :P I really should stop posting to this list
in a hurry.  My eyes glanced at the short loop, the thread-starting code
(didn't notice the .run() instead of .start()), and the output, and
concluded "GIL funkiness" (something I've been hit with before).

FWIW, replacing .run() with .start() (and dropping name from .run()) and 
dropping the sleep() produces the same symptoms the OP was showing.
