No need to apologize!

Are you join()ing your child thread? In this case the main thread won't  
acknowledge the exception until the join() call returns -- probably too  
late. A sleep() call isn't interruptible either.

I think it's already reported at http://bugs.python.org but I can't locate  
the issue right now.
