Finally got some time to research this issue a little bit more. Found that it seems to be a common issue [0]. After reading [1] it seems that it is because of incorrect (threads/multiprocessing) + pygtk. The same error message seems to appear on a bug report related to fglrx [2].
So, if you have an old debian/ubuntu which uses fglrx it might be a bug there... if not, w3af might be breaking something. Let me know if you're still getting the bug, and if your system fits the profile.
