If join() is called on a thread which is alive with a timeout, it hangs for the duration of the timeout even if the thread terminated before. This appears to only happen on Windows 2003 x64. Here's a test case: --- #!/usr/bin/env python from threading import Thread import time class ReaderThread(Thread): def __init__(self): Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): print "sleeping" time.sleep(5) print "finished sleeping" thread = ReaderThread() thread.start() print "joining..." thread.join(60) print "joined" ----

I reproduce the problem with python 2.5, and it seems corrected with python 2.6.1. 2.5 now only accept security fixes: closing as "out of date".
