Subject: Added a provision to stop all threads before exiting from the test:
X-Git-Tag: v2.0b1~1961

Added a provision to stop all threads before exiting from the test:
the change to regrtest.py to unload all newly imported modules did
something bad to the threads -- and I realized that they would never
stop!
