For the same reason, I agree with Victor that we should ditch the threading-disabled builds. It's too much of a hassle for no actual, practical benefit. People who want a threadless unicodeless Python can install Python 1.5.2 for all I care.

By the way, adding a buildbot for testing Python without thread support is not enough. The buildbot is currently broken since more than one month and nobody noticed :-p

Ok, I noticed, but I consider that I spent too much time on this minor use case. I prefer to leave such task to someone else :-)
