Summary: exceptions module cannot be imported in two interpreters

Details: If the exceptions module is imported in two separate interpreters
within one process, the second import fails.  The program below fails when
linked with Python 2.0 on RedHat Linux 6.2 with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: Cannot re-init internal module exceptions

Program source:

#include <Python.h>

char *cmd = "import exceptions";

int main()
{
  Py_Initialize();
  PyEval_InitThreads();
  PyRun_SimpleString(cmd);
  Py_EndInterpreter(PyThreadState_Get());
  Py_NewInterpreter();
  PyRun_SimpleString(cmd);
  Py_Finalize();
}

If the command is changed to "import sys" or "import os" there is no error
message.
