Python apparently contains a long lasting threading bug on Linux
with LinuxThreads.
SIGSEGV causes hung threads (Linux)
http://www.python.org/sf/756924
http://sf.net/tracker/?atid=305470&group_id=5470
This problem causes multi-threaded applications such
as Zope to enter a funny state when one of the threads crashes.
Some of the threads die but others remain and can only be killed
with "kill -9". Normal restart logic fails for Zope because of these
remaining threads.
<mailto:[email protected]> submitted a patch
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=949332&group_id=5470&atid=305470>
Nevertheless, the problem still exists in Python 2.3.4c1.
Either the patch was not applied or it does not fix the problem.
