I think I tracked this down to
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218378
which leads to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451494
and then
http://bugs.python.org/issue3115
It fits the problem well:
* open in Python 2.5.2 which we ship
* it only happens on 64 bits since Jaap [our endless 32 bit Fedora
tester - thank $DEITY we have him :)] has never seen it on 32 bit
Fedora 8/9/10 in the last couple years
* we have seen it on Fedora 9 64 bit boxen - it went away by
downgrading the kernel to some FC8 kernel
I meant to update to Python 2.5.4 in alpha4 anyway, so I will see if
the problem cannot be made to go away.
Cheers,
Michael
