Guido van Rossum 1d5ad90c1c CRITICAL PATCH!
We occasionally received reports from people getting "invalid tstate"
crashes (this is a fatal error in PyThreadState_Delete()).  Finally
several people were able to reproduce it reliably and Tim Peters
discovered that there is a race condition when multiple threads are
calling this function without holding the global interpreter lock (the
function may be called without holding that).

Solved the race condition by adding a lock around the mutating uses of
interp->tstate_head.  Tim and Jonathan Giddy have run tests that make
it likely that this fixes the crashes -- although Tim hasn't heard
from the person who reported the original problem.

Guido van Rossum 18bc7c2276 Make current_tstate a global, _PyThreadState_Current. This is to
support a macro in pystate.h.

Guido van Rossum ede0439cd8 /* An extension mechanism to store arbitrary additional per-thread state.
PyThreadState_GetDict() returns a dictionary that can be used to hold such
   state; the caller should pick a unique key and store its state there.  If
   PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL, an exception has been raised (most
   likely MemoryError) and the caller should pass on the exception. */

separately.
