Would someone mind trying the following to see if you get the same behavior?
 cd /usr/lib/python2.5/test
 python testall.py
Observe that it hangs at "creating task 1".

And (using bash):
 cd /usr/lib/python2.5/test
 python testall.py >& testall.out
and observe that test_wait4 fails.

...

Thanks - Jim
