[Python-Dev] test_logging failing on Windows 2000

[Raymond Hettinger]

Here's one suggestion.

Create a semaphore.

Bump the semaphore count up by one before running each new
thread.
 
> - The threads handling the requests are still running, and there's
>   nothing to guarantee that they have processed all requests.

Have the daemons decrement the semaphore when they're done
handling a request.

Have the last step in the main thread be a blocking call to the semaphore
so that it doesn't bail out until all requests are handled.
