Not there yet, but here is an intermediate hack, committed to CVS.
From the ChangeLog:

   * added a #define and some #ifndef's to make it easy to temporarily
     comment out the (unfortunately buggy) thread-safe-ication code.
     That code will probably have to go when the bug is fixed.
   * renamed init_exceptions() to ORBit_Python_init_exceptions() to avoid
     namespace conflict with a similarly named function appearing in
     Python 2.0.  Works fine with 2.0b1.

  Probably not worth adding a conditional.  I added #ifndef's, so you
can type 'make CFLAGS="-DORBIT_PYTHON_NOT_THREADED"', and anyway that
code is supposed to go away at some point.
