New submission from Pete Hunt <floydophone at gmail.com>:

Apologies if I mess up the formatting - my first bug report submitted.

Steps to reproduce (OSX Snow Leopard, 2.6.3)

>>> import threading, imp
>>> def doit():
...     print imp.load_module("cherrypy", None, 
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/CherryPy-3.1.2-py2.6.egg/cherrypy", ('', '', 5))
... 
>>> threading.Thread(target=doit).start()
>>> Trace/BPT trap
