No, it works called from C, and doesn't work called
from Python.  The only reason for me trying threads
was thinking that Python might be treating the callback
function as a separate thread.  But the C code never
needed threads as called from a C main function, and
I don't see a good reason it should need it as invoked
from Python.  But then it just doesn't work from Python,
threads or no threads, though I can easily do a
"Hello World" called from a Python main.  As soon as
I throw in a callback (callling C functions, not
Python), it fails.
