Summary: active_limbo_lock error at program exit

Initial Comment:
I'm running my threaded application, and now and then I get 
following error at exit. I'm using python 2.2 final, but I have had 
the same error with python 2.1. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce 
it. This bug has only occured when I've run the program under 
win2ksp2, tried to produce it under linux but without luck. My 
program is pure python application. I guess saving reference to 
_active_limbo_lock at Thread-class could solve the 
problem..
<error>

Hm, this looks like it could happen when the treading module
is deleted while there are still threads running. But that
can only happen with daemon threads. Does your program have
daemon threads?
