Been seeing this for a while now: [...] test_module test_modulefinder test_multibytecodec test_multibytecodec_support test_multifile test_multiprocessing make: *** [test] Terminated LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/dev/shm/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.4-r1/work/Python-2.6.4: ./python - E -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l -w test_grammar test_opcodes test_dict test_builtin test_exceptions test_types [...] Happens with different kernels, different versions of python (3.1 included). It's probably not a python bug.
Added dependency, test_multiprocessing works after applying the patch in 301642.
sounds like it should be fixed w/newer stable systems due to newer glibc
