Summary: THREAD_STACK_SIZE for 2.1

Initial Comment:
I created this patch for OpenBSD packaging, so we could
bump up the pthread stack size in the same way it is
done for Python 2.2 -- by adding
-DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=0x20000 to OPT.  (We need this so
Zope doesn't crash with our shared libpython.)

Why the increase of thread stack is not needed on Python 2.2?

I just do not know that yet, because there is no Zope for
Python 2.2 relesed yet. Thus I did no stress tests against
Pyhton 2.2. AFAIK, there have to be Zope 2.7 which will
require Python 2.2.

It is highly unlikely that there will be a Python 2.1.4
release. In the absence of this release, the patch is not
needed.

If you update to a newer Python version, it will be Python
2.2.x or Python 2.3.x; I understand that the patch is not
needed on such a system.

This is not at all about politics. There simply is no
volunteer to make another Python 2.1 release.

The pathch is closed but an issue remains.

Do I have to apply the patch each time I update Python
version? Zope with more or less complex CMS just blows out
because of tiny stack!

Sorry if I do not understand something in politics here...

I am no longer involved in OpenBSD.  Chris Humphries took
over the Python ports, he is reachable at
<chumphries@drauku.net>.  I let him know about these patches
in early July.

I have FreeBSD4, Python 2.1.3 and Zope 2.5.1

The patch was mandatory to make site using CMF and heavy 
ZPT work. Uptime is 5 days already.

The bug should be eliminated in next 2.1.4 release. Can we 
increase priority?
