New submission from Skip Montanaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I worked up a simple example of using the external processing module 
(0.52) for a friend at work today.  I noticed some cases where it raised 
exceptions during exit.  Not all the time, but not infrequently either.  
This evening I tweaked it for the 2.6 multiprocessing module's API and 
tried it out.  I ran it in a large loop:

   for i in $(range 500) ; do
       echo '!'$i
       python test_proc.py
   end | egrep '!'

Most of the time all I see are the '!' lines from the echo command.  
Every once in awhile I see a traceback though.  For example:

Exception in thread QueueFeederThread (most likely raised during 
interpreter shutdown):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 522, in 
__bootstrap_inner
  File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 477, in run
  File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 
233, in _feed
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 'NoneType' object is not callable

This occurred once in approximately 1500 runs of the script (three times 
through the above shell loop).  The script used to trigger this 
exception is attached.
