[New-bugs-announce] [issue7264] test_threading_local sometimes hangs when run with -R

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

If I run something like:
  ./python -m test.regrtest -R3:2: test_threading_local

Python sometimes hangs and I have to "kill -9" it.

Running through gdb shows it gets stuck at the following point:

/home/antoine/cpython/debug/Lib/threading.py (239): wait
/home/antoine/cpython/debug/Lib/threading.py (638): join
/home/antoine/cpython/debug/Lib/test/test_threading_local.py (68):
test_derived
[snip]

That is, it hangs waiting for a thread to join().
