[Stackless] python-272 test hang

[Roger Florkowski]

I apologize the the delay in responding ... this patch fixes the problem.  I can run the test cases over/over/over without a single hang.  Thanks!

Roger

Can you try the attached unittest patch and let me know the results?

It tries to ensure that any unittests which start up and find existing
Python threads consider it a failure.  Also, when a test finishes, it
will try and wait for the existing Python threads to exit or consider
it a failure as well.  Really, all this should be base TestCase
boilerplate logic for all the Stackless unit tests, but verifying it
fixes your problem should be a good first step before I push it to the
HG repository.

Cheers,
Richard.
