I believe Nick Maclaren explained that to you (and me) on January 10 and 11 this group. As far as I have understood the issue, it has to do with poor threads implementations. Look that up on Google groups and re-read the discussion (or ask Nick Maclaren as he is far more competent than me). http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/332083cdc8bc44b -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
