Matthias Urlichs <sm...@smurf.noris.de> added the comment: Upon further consideration (and following the observation that my test cases no longer block for two seconds each after applying the first version of this patch): we do not want to clear the reference to "dangling_threads" since that's a weakset. We want to clear the "thread" variable, which holds a reference to a random member of that set, which will arbitrarily block the cleanup loop from ever succeeding.
