 Running as in summary:

 python2.5 setup.py test

 ... inside allmydata-tahoe-1.4.1

 Eventually stops and runs the CPU up to 100% on a specific test. I am
 attaching a log of the session.

 Details of the machine:

 NetBSD quickie 4.99.7 NetBSD 4.99.7 (quickie) #0: Tue Jan  2 14:47:23 PST
 2007  root at quickie:/v/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/quickie i386

 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ (single-core, 32-bit)
 2.5GB RAM

 Python 2.5.2

 This is a transitional pthread machine, partway between the M:N -> 1:1
 threading model transition. The M:N threads *should* be functional and for
 all system and most application purposes they are. (KDE, etc.) However, on
 occasion some software makes assumptions or is built without threading
 support because configure detected anomalous behaviour.
