Re: [cx-oracle-users] SEGV

[Lars I. <la...@ib...>]

Following up to myself for the sake of the archives, since I got my 
problems resolved.

I had what looked like a deadlock problem and a SEGV.

As it turned out, the deadlock wasn't a real deadlock, but the system 
was thashing wildly due to a memory leak, which I could eventually track 
down to Python issue: [ 1089632 ] _DummyThread() objects not freed from 
threading._active map:
 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1089632&group_id=5470

The SEGV has disappeared with the 4.2 prerelease that Anthony sent me.

Thanks a lot.
