So the cancel lock may be destroyed while the thread is still alive, whereas the thread will try to release the cancel lock, which just crash. Another minor fix: the thread doesn't release the cancel lock if it didn't acquire it. files: Modules/faulthandler.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/Modules/faulthandler.c b/Modules/faulthandler.c --- a/Modules/faulthandler.c +++ b/Modules/faulthandler.c @@ -401,6 +401,7 @@ thread.timeout_ms, 0); if (st == PY_LOCK_ACQUIRED) { /* Cancelled by user */ + PyThread_release_lock(thread.cancel_event); break; } /* Timeout => dump traceback */ @@ -419,7 +420,6 @@ /* The only way out */ thread.running = 0; PyThread_release_lock(thread.join_event); - PyThread_release_lock(thread.cancel_event); } static void -- Repository URL: http://hg.python.org/cpython
