[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.2a3 problems

[Christopher Smith]

Dear SIG,

I'm running into a problem when i do the self tests on 2.2a3 on both a
powermac 
7600 running MacOS 8.5.1 and a iMac running OS 9.1.  All goes as expected
(I 
think) until the "thread" test or something soon after it is reached.  At
this 
point, Python quits with an error 2.  I've been able to determine that if
the 
file test_long_exp.py" is taken out of the test folder that the crash does
not 
occur.

Anyone else having this problem or know what my problem might be?

Here is the NONCARBON run from the iMac running 9.1 without the
test_longexp.py 
file in the test folder:

This much did match (between asterisk lines):
