[issue8103] threading.start() : unable to restart thread

[Benjamin VENELLE]

New submission from Benjamin VENELLE <kain94 at gmail.com>:

Hi,

I've found a bug in threading module. "self._started" event is never cleared when thread terminates. So, at line 452, in start() function, the test "if self._started.is_set():" prevents any restart.

PS: I saw this bug in Python 3.1.1 32 bit on a Windows 7 platform.
