according to coredumps we found in the scope of the bug [1] we opened [2] that suggested to override python's implementation of thread.allocate_lock
in each coredump we saw few threads stuck with the bt:
#16 0x00007fcb69288c93 in PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords (func=0x2527820, arg=0x7fcb6972f050, kw=<value optimized out>) at Python/ceval.c:3663
#17 0x00007fcb692ba7ba in t_bootstrap (boot_raw=0x250a820) at Modules/threadmodule.c:428
#18 0x00007fcb68fa3851 in start_thread (arg=0x7fcb1bfff700) at pthread_create.c:301
#19 0x00007fcb6866694d in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:115
in pystack the threads were stuck in /usr/lib64/python2.6/threading.py (513): __bootstrap_inner
in bootstrap_inner we use thread.allocate_lock which python-pthreading does not override.
we suggest the following commit:
