No I forgot to mention that this is with a locally compiled Python
that hasn't had threading disabled. ie
% cd $PY_2_1_SRC
% ./configure
% make; make install
Where the Python source is the current Cygwin distribution source

Also note not everyone is having the same success with threading

There are several of us trying to stomp an apparent race condition
with earlier Windows distributions.
Any simple test cases demonstrating the problem welcome < preferably C

$PY_2_1_src / Lib / test / test_threadedtempfile.py
seems to be a good test to tickle the bug

This seems tobe another good python test
$ZOPE_2_4_1_src / lib / Components / ExtensionClass / test / regrtest.py
