New submission from John Mark Schofield <jschofi...@gmail.com>: SUMMARY: When you attempt to start a thread, and you're unable to (you get thread.error) it leaves a thread stuck in an "initial" state that never exits. (threading.enumerate() shows the threads and lists their status as "initial.")
REPRODUCTION STEPS: See attached file. EXPECTED RESULT: Failing to start a thread should not leave the thread in an un-executable state. I would expect the thread start to either succeed or result in the thread being closed and GC'd.
