Yeah I put some print statements in init and it seems
to complete.

RedHat 7.2, 2.4.20 kernel.  Get the same hangup on
Win2000 Pro. Which leads me to believe it has nothing
to do with kernel threads.


Well its an anomaly.  I sent to bug list.
Probably never see it again.
I think some sort of semaphore thingy, which I know
nothing about, is sneaking in under unreproducible
conditions.  I'm moving on.

I'm love python for multi-thread, simple socket programming
and lots of reasons.  This is the first thing that's looked
like a bug in 5 years (1.5), I'm not worried.

Thanks for your help.
