Hi!

  I'm trying to figure out why python2.7 testsuite is hanging on
kfreebsd. Reporting as bug to track the status.

 * running the testsuite by hand makes it stop in

test_interrupted_write_buffered (test.test_io.CSignalsTest) ... 

 * Running only the test_io part manually doesn't hang at all.

 * Adding a single print before the write [1] (line 2727) makes it go
   firther but still hangs later on:

test_itimer_prof (test.test_signal.ItimerTest) ... ('SIGPROF handler invoked', (27, <frame object at 0x6181780>))
ok
test_itimer_real (test.test_signal.ItimerTest) ... 
call pause()...


[1]             self.assertRaises(ZeroDivisionError,
                              wio.write, item * (1024 * 1024))

Regards

    Christoph
