--- Comment #1 from Richard Sharman <richard_sharman at mitel dot com> ---
I have seen something similar:  when stopped at a breakpoint printing a
variable that has a [python] pretty printer (and scheduler-locking is off)
quite often other threads run before the printing is finished,  and if any of
these threads create other threads then these newly created threads -- and, for
some reason some existing threads --  appear as running.


The following shows a normal "into thread" with all threads stopped, but
after the print msg [a structure that contains a field that is pretty printed]
the info threads shows many threads running,  and not just the new ones.  At
this point we cannot continue.
