global interpreter lock not working as it should

[Michael Gilfix]

  Out of curiosity, did you get this description from David Beazley's
Python Essential Reference, under the threading section? While the
book is absolutely fantastic, it's description of threading can be
a little misleading and directly quotes what you were getting after
here. Or perhaps it's in the py documentation - I haven't looked.
