Summary: Threaded Python program hangs

Initial Comment:
import thread, os, time
thread.start_new_thread(os._exit, (1,))
time.sleep(1)
print "done"

The program never prints "done".

Python 2.1 (tummy RPM 2.1-4)
RedHat 6.2

strace of the main thread shows:
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) = 0
rt_sigsuspend([]
... Python completes the time.sleep() call, and then
hangs waiting something.
