python 2.3.4-1 on cygwin 1.5.11-1 exits when Thread exits


Whenever any of my python threads exits, python exits, too (regardless of the main thread, for example). See below for details. How can I fix this?

Transcript of a python session on cygwin 1.5.11-1:

% python2.3
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jun 13 2004, 11:21:03)
[GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from threading import Thread
t = Thread()
t.start()
%

i.e. when thread t exited, so did python.


Doing the same thing on Linux, python does not exit:

% uname -srm
Linux 2.6.6-1-386 i686
% python2.3
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul  5 2004, 09:15:05)
[GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from threading import Thread
t = Thread()
t.start()
print "foo"
foo
