[New-bugs-announce] [issue24555] Python logic error when deal with re and muti-threading

[bee13oy]

New submission from bee13oy:

Bug 0x01 is the main problem.

t.start()
t.join(timeout)
In normal case, I run a while() in sub-thread, the main thread will get the control of the program after the sub-thread is timed out.
But, in our POC, even the sub-thread timed out, the main thread still can't execute continue. After analyzing, I found the main thread trapped into an infinite loop like I described in the PDF.
