[ great, detailed instructions on thread debugging ]

Well, and here I was, hoping you'd say "Ah! you just forgot to run

import easy_threads

at the top of your code.  That should do it".  But hey, who am I to complain...

It seems like Yariv has narrowed it down to a readline bug, so I'm going to 
leave it at that (too swamped on my end with other things).  But many thanks 
for this message, since these instructions will come in handy more than once 
in the future, I'm afraid.

Take care,
