There are a few calls in the Python interface to make sure everything
happens in one thread. However, how this works appears to change with
every version of Python, so it might not work with Python 2.4. It might
actually be this thread-protection code that causes the crash.
Perhaps someone who knows how these things work can have a look at
src/if_python.c. Search for "thread\c".
