Early MFC, as the test case in the PR is fairly complete and the
submitter also re-ran test case on -STABLE. It also bites Python
fairly hard, which will otherwise try to use POSIX sems for its
internal thread synchronization; this needs more in-depth testing.
Note: FreeBSD's build of Python does NOT attempt to use POSIX sems by
default, it
will only do this if explicitly patched to do so. It defaults to using
condvars + mutexes
to build Python's internal thread locks.
I'd encourage folk to try the patch which does this,
I only posted the 'side-step' patch (i.e. use GNU Pth, needs to be
explicitly
enabled in OPTIONS) but the changes needed are in here too:
