Yup, it looks like that is a possibility. I tried test_fork1 a few times on:

[trentm@ladder src]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.2.14 (root@ladder.ActiveState.com) (gcc version 2.95.2
19991024 (release)) #1 Mon Mar 6 16:49:17 PST 2000

(a Mandrake box)... and it works fine:

[trentm@ladder src]$ ./python Lib/test/test_fork1.py
[trentm@ladder src]$ ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_fork1
test_fork1
1 test OK.
[trentm@ladder src]$


So...... who knows more about SMP issues and why we have them? I am
inexperienced and clueless here.
