Aha.  I wonder what version of Python.

Sort of -- not the one that comes with the RH distro, but this
one from python.org:

python-2.2.3-26.src.rpm (Red Hat 9 updated Source RPM, 7007263 bytes)

signal.signal by itself seems to be okay:

[waterbug at golux test]$ python
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jun 25 2003, 22:41:47)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Nope, not invoking any threads at all in my code.

Thanks for the suggestions, Itamar.

Cheers,
