See http://bugs.python.org/issue1731. Should we consider it safe to backport r57216 to 2.5.2? This is Thomas Wouters's code to disable spurious tracebacks when daemon threads die. We're running some 2.4 apps with (a variant of) this at Google that get many 1000s of invocations a day, so I'm pretty confident that it works.

If it fixes a bunch of unnecessary tracebacks which only add confusion whether or not something is working I'm +1 on it. Being on the grunt-side of handling bug reports anything that gets rid of unnecessary bug reports is a good change to backport in my opinion.
