Let me guess. You either forgot to start Python's threading system or
you didn't register you thread with Python. You need to deal with
PyThread_init_thread(), PyEval_InitThreads(), PyThreadState_New(),
PyThreadState_Clear() and PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent(). The module
Modules/threadmodule.c contains some examples.
