But this would also be true when he runs the module directly, right? I don't know about that, but when I run it via import, instead of hanging on NetBSD 2.0 it crashes, and you get the file and line number of the pthread function where it died. Shortly after doing a yield that's apparently expected to always work. If not via import, no problem. If not subprocess, no problem (I can use os.popen, or os.pipe/fork/execve, etc.) I imagine this is related to the problem on Linux.
