New submission from Dan Mahn <dan.m...@digidescorp.com>:

I have a python-based test script that creates a daemon thread.  The foreground 
basically runs a loop of commands, while the daemon thread sends some UDP data 
on the network.  To stop the script, I use Control-C.  This is running under 
64-bit Windows (Vista) with 64-bit Python.

This script was developed under Python version 3.0, and has been running fine 
with 3.1.  I downloaded 3.2RC1 and noticed that the script does not exit with 
the typical Ctrl-C.  I also tried 3.2RC2, which had the same effect.  If I do 
not start the background thread, the test exits normally.

If I use Python 3.1, but I don't set the daemon attribute on the background 
thread, the operation duplicates the problem.  Therefore, I believe there is a 
problem with 3.2 handling of daemon threads.
