I am getting indications that there are a number of very severe
thread-related breakages in 2.060 at least on Debian Unstable using the
debs.  Some of my codes that use threads explicitly work fin with 2.059
but are showing a variety of errors with 2.060. I will put a few bug
reports in and then revert to 2.059 :-((

Can you give some more details of how things are breaking?

A *lot* of threading and GC related patches were applied in 2.060, and 
it's certainly not impossible that some of them have broken something, 
but I need more details to get an idea of what's going wrong.

I put up issue 8505 as an easy one, well easy to report anyway.  I
marked it blocking but it is also a regression. I am not sure how to
treat "regression" in terms of a total ordering with "blocking" and
"critical". Hopefully the fix is easy and 2.061 can come out quickly.

I have other problems which merit bug reports, but I need to do a few
bits and pieces to ensure all the reports are about 2.059 =E2=86=92 2.060 a=
nd
not just trivial bugs in my code.

I believe I have two possibly three different issues, all threads
related in some way, not just different views on the same problem.

If it's a regression, that should be the category. Other remarks about its 
importance should go in the comments.
