Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner:

The above patch enables HAVE_PTHREAD_SIGMASK under Cygwin which was not
enabled before.
I just tried the following with 2.3c1:
$ configure ...
$ # edit pyconfig.h to #undef HAVE_PTHREAD_SIGMASK
$ make
$ ./python.exe -E -tt ../Lib/test/regrtest.py -l
test_grammar
[snip]
test_zlib
221 tests OK.
2 tests failed:
test_netrc test_time
32 tests skipped:
test_aepack test_al test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl
test_curses test_dbm test_email_codecs test_gl test_imgfile

1 skip unexpected on cygwin:
test_ioctl
Scanning the Cygwin code, I found the following:
extern "C" int
pthread_sigmask (int operation, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *old_set)
{
pthread *thread = pthread::self ();
// lock this myself, for the use of thread2signal
***> // two differt kills might clash: FIXME
[snip]
}
Hence, it seems that my hypothesis that a Python change was tickling a
Cygwin bug (i.e., the above FIXME or another issue) is correct.
So, the question is how should we deal with this issue?
1. Leave the Python code base alone and assume that Cygwin's
pthread_sigmask() will get fixed. Additionally, assume I will
patch around this problem until that happens.
2. Patch the Python code base so that HAVE_PTHREAD_SIGMASK is
undefined under Cygwin.
I recommend option #1. Do others agree? Did I miss any other options?
BTW, does anyone know if Python is triggering the FIXME in Cygwin's
pthread_sigmask()? Or, should I look elsewhere?
Thanks,
Jason
