Message 73638 - Python tracker
Last time I checked many more would cause ItimerTest to not run properly, these were: test_asynchat, test_asyncore, test_decimal, text_docxmlrpc, test_ftplib, test_logging, test_poplib, test_queue, test_smtplib, test_socket and all these tests had in common the threading.Event usage. It is possible that I missed other tests, but what I concluded is that freebsd, threads, and itimer doesn't work together :/
