I'll report back once I have more information, and if/when this change gets committed to the source repository.
Hi everyone, sorry for the mail flood. The bug is mine, and I have found out where my confusion came from. Thomas is completely correct, we have not been doign the threading properly -- in fact, we were *explicitly* using a single-threaded matplotlib shell. I've fixed it by applying the patch above to both yt-1.0 and trunk; this is in r1195. (You can see the supporting information by doing: "import IPython.Shell; help(IPython.Shell)" where the various threading models are discussed.) Thanks again, -Matt
