Comment 3 for bug 411349

I have an strace of the server *after* it hangs, not before it:
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = 0
futex(0x937a5a8, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0

In effect it is not doing anything. I'll investigate if it is possible to do a gdb; this server runs Red Head 4 (I always get a red head because it is such an unfriendly horrible Linux distro) and I had to compile Python by hand there - RHEL 3 has python 2.3 as base.
