[issue1720705] thread + import => crashes?

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

And one other restriction: the thread performing the import must not be
spawned as a side effect of importing a module (as this will deadlock
the interpreter)

The effect of disobeying the two restrictions in my previous comment
will be intermittent crashes at shutdown, such as those experienced by
the original poster of this bug report.
