Re: Python 2.4.1 locking bug. (was: Re: rebaseall failure?)

So far, I found from stracing the following:

Unfortunately, I won't have the time to debug further for a while. And,
to be honest, I'm lacking the motivation too...
I _suspect_ that this is related to the PTHREAD mutex change in the 1.5.18 release.
So perhaps it wasn't benign for Python, but just didn't show up in the Python self-tests.
At least, that it what I gather from you being able to reproduce the bug.



semaphore::_trywait doesn't have anything to do with pthread mutexes, AFAIK.

I don't know. When I saw the Python message it seemed plausible.


The real issue is that Python broke with 1.5.18, either because of the pthread change or not.
Be that as it may, should I report this bug in another forum?
