[New-bugs-announce] [issue5160] Intermittant segmentation fault with ctrl-c (threads and queues)

[Corey Goldberg]

New submission from Corey Goldberg <cgoldberg at gmail.com>:

I can get the Python interpreter to core dump when running the following
code:

http://pastebin.com/f261f398f

To reproduce:
- run the above code and press ctrl-c to quit while it is running.  It
crashes (segfault) the interpreter every few times you stop it like this.

I think it has something to do with the thread launching another thread
containing a queue.

- Tested on Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux 8.10 (both running Python 2.5.2)
