Copy of issue 1579370

Programs using generators, exceptions and threads could crash.
I was not able to make plain python program to crash, but python program
embedded in C++ crashed very reliably. 

No more crashes after applying patch from 2.5 version stopped helped.

I verified that bug and patch on python 2.4.3.

Looking at the source code in svn, the same but lurks in latest 2.3 and
2.2 (since generators were introduced).

This is right, but there won't be any more 2.4 release.

Either apply the patch to your local copy of the sources,
or simply upgrade to 2.5.
