Summary: readline and threads crashes

Initial Comment:

Python 2.2.2 with linux kernel 2.2.17
paste into the interpreter:


import readline, rlcompleter
readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')
import thread
import math
def starter(a):
  for i in range(1000000):
    a = math.cos(i)

thread.start_new_thread(starter, (1,))


now type any letter and hit <tab>
segfault or "Fatal Python error: ceval: tstate mix-up"
will occur, if not the first time, then eventually if you keep hitting tab

this might be related to:

but I'm posting anyway as I'm not sure it's the same, and that one doesn't seem to be getting attention
