[issue874900] threading module can deadlock after fork

[Jesse Noller]

Jesse Noller <jnoller at gmail.com> added the comment:

I had to flip on ignore whitespace to patch:
patch -p0 -l <~/Desktop/fork-and-thread3.patch

Worked. Unfortunately, test_threading is locking up during a make test. 
Here's the verbose regrtest.py output:

woot:python-trunk jesse$ ./python.exe Lib/test/regrtest.py -v 
test_threading
...snip
<thread 9> done
<thread 9> is finished. 0 tasks are running
all tasks done
ok
test_join_in_forked_from_thread 
(test.test_threading.ThreadJoinOnShutdown) ...

At this point it hangs (OS/X 10.5 latest)
