I recieve a segmentation fault if i call os.forkpty(). It does not happen with os.openpty(). Moreover os.fork() works fine.

The basesystem is gentoo-hardened. It does only happens if threading is enabled, which is the standard.

Tested python versions: 2.7.10, 3.4.3 
Some backtraces and py-bt are found here:

Is this a known issue? At the moment i am thinking that gcc is "optimizing" something here.

From a quick search of the issue tracker, I didn't find any previous reports of this.  We do have a couple of gentoo buildbots but probably not gentoo-hardened.  So I don't think this issue is going to go anywhere here and I'm going to close it.  If anyone does find evidence of a problem in Python, please reopen.  Good luck!
