(This is on a 64bit debian testing with gcc 4.2.3). Can you test with the following: if ((0 == (sigcount & 0xffffffff)) && PyErr_CheckSignals()) (i.e. the code will (nearly) not even call PyErr_CheckSignals). I guess this is some c compiler optimization issue (seems like mine does a better job at optimizing :) ____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue846388> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
