Summary: recursive __getattr__ in thread crashes BSDs

Initial Comment:
The following code consistently crashes Python 2.4 on Mac OS X:

import threading

class foo:
    def __getattr__(self, x): self.foo

def j(): foo().bar

t = threading.Thread(target=j, args=())
t.start()

Since the indenting was off above, I've attached the code.

I've also tested it on FreeBSD and it has the same problem (Segmentation fault 
(core dumped)).
