[Stackless] Segmentation fault when running example wsgi app in linux/win

[Jeff Senn]

I had this problem too (embedding Python in a completely different way and on OS/X),
that is: a crash in GC during Py_Finalize.  I spent just a bit of time looking
but didn't resolve much -- my (not very satisfying) solution was *not* to call 
Py_Finalize since my program was exiting anyway.

I seem to recall it was "worse" on a 64-bit compile... 
Håkan, do you have the same problem with a 32-bit compile?
maybe that's a clue... (or a red herring...)

Sorry, not much light shedding, let me know if you figure it out...

I have browsed through the mailing list archives and there seems to be a similar error posted about a year ago. http://www.stackless.com/pipermail/stackless/2009-February/003910.html

When running this with a debug version of python under windows i also can see a assertion before the server exits.  When stressing it even further under windows i get a segmentation fault.

When starting the test i can see 10 "Accepted connection" print outs and the server serves request. But when i shut down the threads a assertion/segmentation fault occures.
