And before anyone answers, here's how I remember the situation,
pre-2.0.

The interpreter lock was held per-Python statement.  BUT, many
of the internal library calls were hardcoded to release the
lock before executing a C library call and then reacquire the
lock after the call was done.

Am I close?
