Log Message:
threading.Thread used to raise an exception about attempting to execute a
NoneType if an exception in a thread was raised during interpreter shutdown.
This led to a masking of the initial exception (not good).  All fixed (good).

Closes bug #754449 (using both patch #954922 and a backport of rev. 1.41 from
HEAD).
