hello python-dev,

the following code hangs on FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, Python 2.5b3 (r25b3:51041, Aug 5 2006, 20:46:57)

$ cat pythontest #!/usr/local/bin/python2.5

import os, thread, time, sys

def reboot(): print 'reboot' os.execl(sys.argv[0], sys.argv[0])

thread.start_new_thread(reboot, ())

while 1: time.sleep(1)

works fine on python2.4

is this a bug or is it something i "should not do" ?
