Short course is that a serious bug with threads on Linux was reported almost a year ago, against Python 2.2.2:
I have a patch that seems to fix things <http://world.std.com/~aml/python/linuxthreads-patch/linuxthreads.diffs> and a c program to test for LinuxThreads behavior that would be suitable for autoconf <http://world.std.com/~aml/python/linuxthreads-patch/test.c> I just need a bit of time testing the test suite changes for how they run on other platforms, and to integrate the test program into configure.in. It puts all the changes into a REDIRECT_SIGNALS_TO_MAIN_THREAD define, so there should be any effect on other platforms.
