Build 2.3 or 2.3.1 on linux with the following configure command: ./configure --enable-shared --without-threads Try running the rlcompleter example. If you hit TAB with completions enabled, you'll get a core dump after you hit return on that line. Works fine if I build with threads enabled. This is a major problem for me since we have to deliver our software on machines that do not support pthreads (hpux 10.2 for example). ~: uname -a Linux XXXX 2.4.9-21 #1 Thu Jan 17 14:16:30 EST 2002 i686 unknown ~/builds-gcc2: python Python 2.3.1 (#1, Sep 24 2003, 08:13:26) [GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline, rlcompleter >>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete") >>> readline.par se_and_bind() Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread Abort (core dumped)
