I created this patch for OpenBSD packaging, so we could
bump up the pthread stack size in the same way it is
done for Python 2.2 -- by adding
-DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=0x20000 to OPT.  (We need this so
Zope doesn't crash with our shared libpython.)

I have FreeBSD4, Python 2.1.3 and Zope 2.5.1

The patch was mandatory to make site using CMF and heavy 
ZPT work. Uptime is 5 days already.

The bug should be eliminated in next 2.1.4 release. Can we 
increase priority?

I am no longer involved in OpenBSD.  Chris Humphries took
over the Python ports, he is reachable at
<chumphries@drauku.net>.  I let him know about these patches
in early July.

Closing this one as well (see 554718)

The pathch is closed but an issue remains.

Do I have to apply the patch each time I update Python
version? Zope with more or less complex CMS just blows out
because of tiny stack!

Sorry if I do not understand something in politics here...

It is highly unlikely that there will be a Python 2.1.4
release. In the absence of this release, the patch is not
needed.

If you update to a newer Python version, it will be Python
2.2.x or Python 2.3.x; I understand that the patch is not
needed on such a system.

This is not at all about politics. There simply is no
volunteer to make another Python 2.1 release.

Why the increase of thread stack is not needed on Python 2.2?

I just do not know that yet, because there is no Zope for
Python 2.2 relesed yet. Thus I did no stress tests against
Pyhton 2.2. AFAIK, there have to be Zope 2.7 which will
require Python 2.2.

Increasing the stack size might be still needed, but this
patch is not - Python 2.2 already incorporates it. To quote
the summary of this patch

"so we could bump up the pthread stack size in the same way
it is done for Python 2.2"
