My original test case.  I didn't actually preserve it, so the code below
was my attempt to reconstruct it (but I think it's pretty close to the
test case I tried).  Don't worry, if I run into this again, I'll be
*much* more careful about preserving the evidence and fiddling with
variations; last time I just assumed it was pilot error.

from threading import Thread
import os

class Foo(Thread):
    def run(self):
        while 1:
            pass

f = Foo()
f.start()
os._exit(1)
