Comment:
We don't write, maintain or even distribute gadfly.  So unless the
anonymous submitter resurfaces to explain where they got gadfly, and what
Aaron (gadfly's author) had to say about it, I'm going to close this.

Comment:
The problem is not that Python for Windows hasn't been built with threads
(as the subject originally suggested).  But I don't know what the problem
*is* -- it could well be a bug in gadfly, or it could be a Python bug
triggered by gadfly.

Assigning this to Tim, our universal Windows scapegoat.
