[issue8714] Delayed signals in the REPL on OpenBSD (possibly libpthread related)

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org> added the comment:

I know, the OpenBSD libpthread has problems. I listed some possible
candidates in #8712.

For instance:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/ports/lang/python/2.6/patches/Attic/patch-Lib_test_test_signal_py?rev=1.3;content-type=text%2Fplain


The comment says: "siginterrupt not reliable (does not mix well with threading"



To answer your questions:

1) Yes, there is only a single thread.

2) I only have an old OpenBSD 4.5, so it's not so useful to test
   there; I know Philip Guenther fixed some libpthread problems
   in the meantime.
