I'm not sure this is the same problem, but I've seen similar messages under
different circumstances (freezing with extension modules on Solaris).

The problem in that case was that the file Include/thread.h in the Python 
source clashed with the system thread.h file.  Try deleting Include/thread.h 
and recompiling.  (In 1.5.2, thread.h is unused by Python, although it may 
be used by some extensions).
