[Zope] Python freezes in lwp_sema_p()

[Andreas Jung]

We are running Python1.5.2b2 (with thread support) , latest DCOracle,
Oracle 7.3 under Solaris 2.5.1.

Some of our applications hang in about 10% when they run. We trussed
the binaries and discovered that they all sleep in a lwp_sema_p() call.
Python/thread_cthread.h seems to mention a problem with the Solaris
PThreads implementation however I can't figure out if this is the
real problem. I am not sure whether it's a problem of Python, DCOracle
or the Oracle libraries.

Any ideas or comments ?
Thanks,
Andreas
