IIRC, my whole process was locking up, not just individual threads. Tonight I should have time to pull an old copy of the code out of CVS and recreate the test script that I used. Once I have, it should be a matter of feeding a big list of email addresses to the script and waiting a couple of minutes for the script to lock up. The last time I looked, the problem was very easy to observe. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
