[issue14976] queue.Queue() is not reentrant, so signals and GC can cause deadlocks

That doesn't sound very nice if some thread is waiting on a get() for a very long time (which is reasonable if you have a thread pool that's only used sporadically, for example).  Also, using gc.disable() and gc.enable() in multi-threaded programs is a bit delicate.
