How to reproduce
-----
This was generated after pychess hung by applying "kill -3 8274 8294 8297 8300" to kill all four pychess processes.

The four processes were:
[stephent@maple tmp]$ cat pychess1.log 
stephent  8274  4810  1 15:07 pts/0    00:00:15 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/pychess
stephent  8294  8274 47 15:07 pts/0    00:08:41 /usr/bin/python -u /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pychess/Players/PyChess.py
stephent  8297  8274 47 15:07 pts/0    00:08:41 /usr/bin/python -u /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pychess/Players/PyChess.py

Reassigning to pychess.
This was induced with "kill -3", and it seems ABRT interpreted that as a python crash.

If you already know the reason and you already filed this in another bug, why file it again? IMHO you are abusing abrt. Thomas is working hard on fixing the bugs you already submitted, please give the chance to catch up with your reports instead of filing new bogus ones. Thanks.

I *don't* know the "reason" and am trying to collect more data by reproducing an inconsistently occurring hang on more than one system. Not everyone has been able to do that.

> IMHO you are abusing abrt.

Actually, I hate ABRT and have disabled it on my desktop. If I am going to get flamed for sending ABRT reports, I will disable it on my laptop too. FYI, today is the first time I have ever even used it! And I had no idea ABRT was going to intercept my "kill -3" -- I was actually trying to generate a core file. So please write me off as an ABRT newbie. :-)

Give me a core file and gdb any day. :-)

I apologize to Thomas for sending so much stuff.

Better to reply here (I would be glad to have someone look at that backtrace):
