 Hi, I observed very tricky problem. I have application written in python
 which uses multiprocessing module. So using the python 2.6 from macports
 cause python die in a thread when urllib2 module is invoked. To test I
 installed stock python 2.6.5 from python.org and everything works. I also
 verify that the problem lies with urllib2/multiprocessing modules, since
 if I replace urllib2 to httplib, everything works too. I attach apple
 traceback which shows the problem.

 My guess that macports uses either special patch or enable flags which
 didn't come with stock python source and that cause a problem.

 Valentin.
