i have my own freebsd servers (atm updating from 5.3-Stable to 
5.4-Release), so i can use the ports directly.

can you compile your own python?
(remember to compile with the flag "-DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=0x100000" set, 
this is what the option HUGE_STACK_SIZE does, also don't forget to 
configure --with-threads)

Don't know about the other patches/flags.

don't know if it is visible there.

this is exactly the symptom when the stack size is not upped, so i think 
it is really this problem.
