In version 1.19 (released today), I extended signal handling so that
you can send the program a signal and it will print a stack trace of
where it is and continue. But even before this release, you could
arrange to enter the debugger by sending it a signal. It's possible
something like this might be used help track down the problem in
either pydb or another Python program that seems to be not
responding. On the other hand, use at your own risk - I don't
guarentee this will work for you.

And.. before you ask for more details, I'll repeat what someone else
posted in response to another of your questions:

  I guess you've been told to read this here, but just in case it
  wasn't, or you didn't bother to read it:

Given your other posts, that's quite possible. If it's not, submit a
bug report. (Posting to c.l.r isn't the same as submitting a bug
report). Thanks.
