Ok.
Firstly, on our main site;
252 % uname -a
SunOS caddy 5.6 Generic_105181-17 sun4u sparc

253 % python thread.py
(nothing, no stars)

after a while, 'top' on another terminal gives;
   PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME    CPU COMMAND
13601 bing       3 -15    0 2696K 2032K cpu/0   2:56 24.99% python

then, on another sun
102 % uname -a
SunOS tot 5.7 Generic sun4u sparc

103 % python thread.py
*********** .... **********  (ie line after line of them)

'top' on another terminal gives;
   PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME    CPU COMMAND
   283 daemon     6  16    0 9208K 7928K run   257.6H 55.78% dwhttpd
15201 bing       4  26    0 4856K 2744K run     2:20 37.47% python

Does this imply I should upgrade our main server to 5.7 (or take the 
plunge and go to Solaris 8?)

TIA
Tone.
