I confirm that some tests using threads hang under very low memory condition. At bootstrap, Python doesn't handle correctly all exceptions when starting a new thread. The "parent thread" waits until the "child thread" completes, which never occurs because the thread already completed. I don't think that it was my regression, it probably exists since Python 2 and maybe before. I'm not interested to touch this fragile part of Python. It's maybe easy to fix the issue, I don't know.
