  #1733757: the interpreter would hang on shutdown, if the function set by sys.settrace
  calls threading.currentThread.

  The correction somewhat improves the code, but it was close.
  Many thanks to the "with" construct, which turns python code into C calls.

  I wonder if it is not better to sys.settrace(None) just after
  running the __main__ module and before finalization.

  Doh! os.read() raises an OSError, not an IOError when it's interrupted.

  And fix some flakiness in test_itimer_prof, which could detect that the timer
  had reached 0 before the signal arrived announcing that fact.

  Prevent test_sqlite from hanging on older versions of sqlite.
  The problem is that when trying to do the second insert, sqlite seems to sleep
  for a very long time.  Here is the output from strace:

    read(6, "SQLite format 3\0\4\0\1\1\0@  \0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0"..., 1024) = 1024
    nanosleep({4294, 966296000},  <unfinished ...>

  I don't know which version this was fixed in, but 3.2.1 definitely fails.
