This sounds like the problem I was having trying to get the 3.2.2b unit 
tests to pass on FreeBSD. This was discussed on the python-dev list 
around Sept 10.

You can read the archive on gmane at 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.mod-python.devel/1465

Grisha suggested you can see this sort of problem on FreeBSD where 
Python is threaded and Apache is not and offered the following:

   If you built apache without thread support, you may need to add the 
  following lines to $PREFIX/sbin/envvars:

  LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_r.so
  export LD_PRELOAD
