Python2.1->2.2 broke my thread/signal code?

n.skip() sends ogg123 the SIGTERM signal, and it is supposed to die. (The 
effect of this in my full program would be to play the next track, hence 
"skip".) This works fine with python2.1, but with python2.2, SIGTERM does 
not kill ogg123. "killall ogg123" also doesn't kill ogg123.

Thus: using python2.2, the process running ogg123 responds to signals 
differently. (Doesn't respond to SIGTERM.)
