Thank you, it is nice to know it wasn't just some anomaly due to my system
being misconfigured.

I _suspect_ that this is related to the PTHREAD mutex change in the 1.5.18
release.
So perhaps it wasn't benign for Python, but just didn't show up in the Python
self-tests.
At least, that it what I gather from you being able to reproduce the bug.
Thanks,
