The threading implementation that comes stock with Red Hat 8 has issues,
and threaded apps seem to hang pretty regularly with it.  Red Hat issued
an errata to fix it, and with our threaded app we require the glibc
errata as a packaging dependency to avoid the problems.

As far as the rest of your email goes, the threading support in pygtk
has come a long way since 1.99.14 or .15.  I haven't seen any problems
with it in a long while, and our app is a fairly complex threaded one
(about 15k lines of python, another 1500 lines of C).
