We've already had some problems - especially on *BSD - when mixing signals and threads (and it might be even worse on OpenBSD, since pthreads are implemented in user-space). However, IIUC, in this case you only have a single thread, right? Could you post the output of an strace (well, ktrace on OpenBSD)? Is Python compiled with readline support?
