if you do it before August 23, when the bugtracker will be moved to
bugs.python.org.

Note that a thread-related bug causing a segfault has been reported today at

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1778376&group_id=5470&atid=105470

I could reproduce this one on my machine, though, so I'm sure that it has
nothing to do with a dual core CPU.
