I don't know how this happens but it does, *very* rarely. On more than one hardware platform. I have not been able to reproduce it manually. Attaching to a process where its happening: it has always been in an infinite loop over a single element tstate list that is not the tstate we're looking to delete. It has been in t_bootstrap()'s call to PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent() as a pthread is exiting. ........ r60149 | georg.brandl | 2008-01-21 11:24:59 +0100 (Mon, 21 Jan 2008) | 2 lines #1269: fix a bug in pstats.add_callers() and add a unit test file for pstats. ........

+On Windows systems, there is no notion of an "executable mode". The Python
