So far, the only time that I use the threading in threaded Python
is when I run the regression test.  I have only seen the hang is one
thread related regression test: test_threadedtempfile.py.  This test
spawns a lot of threads which I guess increases the probability that a
hang occurs.  Maybe under normal conditions, the race condition won't
happen too frequently (of course, until I release a threaded Python...).

Norman, would you care to comment on the above?  Do you use threaded
Cygwin Python?  If so, have you seen this or other thread related hangs?

Thanks,
Jason
