New submission from Rupert Summerton:
1. Description: The Python interpretor is crashing on shutdown due to a
segmentation fault:
Unhandled exception at 0x1e03d41f in python.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0x0000002c.
2. Reproducibility: At least 10% on Windows XP Professional SP2, P4
3.20GHz, 2.00GB RAM, when running the attached module, threadpool.py.
(Running with Python 2.5.1). Unfortunately I cannot get the attached
test case to crash on Linux or Solaris. However, executing this code as
part of our Python test framework (see context below), with Python
2.4.1, what looks like the same crash produced the following backtrace:

3. Context: We have an automated test framework written in Python. To
speed up execution it has been multi-threaded so that tests can be run
in parallel. Rather than re-invent the wheel we simply used this
threadpool (http://chrisarndt.de/en/software/python/threadpool/), work
requests essentially being calls to a method that runs an individual
test case. However, we have substantially modified the code to add
functionality. Specifically, we need to find a way to limit the number
of tests that can run concurrently because: (1) different tests place
different loads on a machine, and (2) different machines have different
capacities (CPUs, memory, etc.). We do this by associating a cost with
each work request, and by using the number of CPUs on the machine as a
limit (crude, but reasonably effective) -- if running the next job would
exceed the cost limit, the thread sleeps, and then checks again. In
order to verify that this cost logic works, we have also added some
logging code that can be activated by setting a flag. The other
significant modification has been to extend the Python Queue module to
add a peek method, because peeking at the front of the job queue to
determine the cost of the next job, and not removing it until there is
sufficient capacity to run it, speeds up the execution of tests. The
crash in the Python interpretor occurs only when (1) the cost logging is
switched on AND (2) the module peekablequeue is used instead of the
built in Queue module. I am quite willing to believe that these
modifications could be better implemented, but however bad the code, the
Python interpretor should not crash.
