I don't think that is *my* problem since I'm pretty sure when I 
restrict the tasklets so as not to do any Tkinter calls, that
doesn't help.

It seems that there may be a problem merely with Stackless and native
threads....

Included below is a test that crashes merely by running tasklets in 2
threads. (Slicing is disabled I believe.)

print "all done"
