[New-bugs-announce] [issue3863] 2.6rc1: test_threading hangs on FreeBSD 6.3 i386

[Andrew I MacIntyre]

New submission from Andrew I MacIntyre <aimacintyre at users.sourceforge.net>:

sources: 2.6rc1 tarball
system: FreeBSD 6.3 i386, gcc 3.4.6 (system compiler)
build:  ./configure; make

it makes no difference whether test_threading is run as part of make test 
or on its own - process suspends and has to be killed (I left one run the 
best part of an hour with no progress).

a log from a verbose run:
