Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

It should not hang anymore, since r84172/r84198. The issue was a GIL-based 
deadlock: the GIL was acquired and then not released in a callback function, so 
the next callback caused a deadlock.

The actual cause was a non-ASCII character in the NIS database which caused 
Unicode creation to fail in the callback.
