[New-bugs-announce] [issue2273] test_decimal: possible thread lockup in test case

[Jared Grubb]

New submission from Jared Grubb <python at jaredgrubb.com>:

In Lib\test\test_decimal.py, attached is a bugfix for two bugs:
1) If the thfunc2 actually fails, then its thread will throw an
exception and never set the Events that thfunc1 is waiting for; thus,
thfunc1 never returns, causing the whole unittest to hang.
2) DecimalUseOfContextTest.test_threading should wait on both finish1
and finish2 (instead of waiting on finish1 twice).
