[issue1720705] thread + import => crashes?

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

For 2.6 I've fixed several places where C code was importing a Python
module in a non-threadsafe way. In general a thread start must never be
caused by an import and only the main thread should import modules.
Imports within or caused-by a thread other than the main thread isn't safe.
