It does not crash the interpreter, but it seems it can deadlock.

Kristján sent me a patch which I applied and is supposed to fix this. Anyway, thanks for the numbers. The GIL does seem to fare a bit better (zero latency with the Pi calculation in the background) than under Linux, although it may be caused by the limited resolution of time.time() under Windows.

Regards

Antoine.
