This is a Python bug together with LinuxThreads triggered by a fatal
signal.

Your options:

  *  The Python bug tracker contains a patch for Python 2.3.x
     (I do not know the number).

  *  The bug is fixed in Python 2.4

  *  You can switch to Linux 2.6 and "PosixThreads"

  *  You can try to find out why you get the fatal signal (and avoid it)
     You will want to do this anyway...
