Hi,
I just checked the following to things. I patched the threading to work with
GNU pth and get the same results. When I run the test script with Python 1.5.2
on the same machine, that means same glibc and so on, it works fine. I
compared the threading code of Python 1.5.2 and 1.6.a2 and it doesn't seem to
differ at all. Same for the posixcode as far it is relevant for the test.
I am a little bit irritated by this.
Best regards,
Oliver
