OTOH, it's easy to provoke failures on Win2K.  Barry is going to try again,
under Python 2.3 CVS.  On Linux, 2.3 has a different Python lock
implementation, which should be more willing to switch threads more often.
Jeremy and I had reason to believe that this makes timing-related bugs
easier to provoke on Linux, while we were tracking down timing-related bugs
in ZEO over the past weeks (which are usually easiest to provoke on Win98!).

Marius, which OS and Python version were you using?
