The "funny" errors around trace & exceptions have been corrected with issue1265. The remaining problem is a livelock: when the interpreter exits, threading.Thread.__delete is called, and this calls "_active_limbo_lock.acquire". But the sys.settrace is still enabled... and threading.currentThread() can also call "_active_limbo_lock.acquire" when the main thread cannot be found... A solution could be to clear sys.settrace when closing the interpreter.
