New submission from Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar>:

Steve Holden, in <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.general/658347>, 
about the RuntimeError you get when  a Thread object is started twice:

«"thread already started" implies that the thread is running, but you
actually get the same message if you try to start any terminated thread
(including a canceled one), so "threads cannot be restarted" might be a
better message. Or, better still, "Threads can only be started once".»

This patch fixes the wording as suggested.
