If you want to try one more thing, try mucking with
a call to sys.setcheckinterval().  This used to be
10 by default but is now 100.  In any case, changing
it will quite often significantly change the code's
behaviour in the presence of race conditions.  Try
values of 1 and 1000 and see if anything makes a
difference.
