[Patches] define ThreadError exception in threading.py

[Charles G Waldman]

The module threading.py can raise thread.error.  If you use "import
threading", you still must "import thread" in order to be able to
catch thread.error.  I think the exceptions raised by the threading
module should be defined within that module.
