Summary: import problem with 2.1c1

Initial Comment:
I have built Python 2.1c1 under Linux and Irix
without the thread module.  When I import
threading an ImportError occurs as expected.
However, reissuing the import threading (not reloading)
statement does not raise an ImportError.  This causes a
failure in the regression tests with  the
following error message:

test test_threadedtempfile crashed --
exceptions.AttributeError: 'threading' module has no
attribute 'Event'

Here is a sample session from the interactive
interpreter.

Assigned to Guido, because I suspect he just fixed this in 
the CVS tree.
