Summary: 'make tests' fails with thread error on OpenBSD 2.7

Details: Using the latest CVS version of Python, the output from a pass of regrtest follows. It may be an OpenBSD problem, in which case if someone can explain it to me I will sendbug it to the OpenBSD people instead.

Comment:
Oh, if you do './configure --without-threads' then the problem is avoided, of course. 'make tests' then gives:

74 tests OK.
26 tests skipped: test_al test_audioop test_cd test_cl test_crypt test_dbm test_dl test_fcntl test_fork1 test_gdbm test_gl test_gzip test_imageop test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_minidom test_nis test_pty test_pyexpat test_rgbimg test_sunaudiodev test_thread test_timing test_winreg test_winsound test_zlib

But presumably, since Python 2 has threads enabled by default, something else needs to be done ;-)

Comment:
I don't have an OpenBSD system to debug this myself. I have access to FreeBSD 4.1 which does not have this problem. Perhaps you can try to debug this some more yourself?

If it's decided that this is a bug in OpenBSD (are you using the latest version?), please let us know so we can close this bug report.
