WeeChat is mono-threads. Threads are forbidden in plugins or scripts. If you want to have another process (with fork), use hook_process in API.
This is not a bug, this is mono-thread by design ;)

I've created a minimal python script that makes weechat crash.
Running it from the commandline works

#import gobject
#gobject.threads_init()
#import weechat
import threading

#weechat.register("windicate", "Leon Bogaert", "0.0.1", "GPL",
#                 "fills the indicator applet", "", "")

def do_something():
    print "Doing something"

threading.Thread(target=do_something).start()

OK. If it's not a bug it can be closed.

Thanks for the response!

WeeChat can crash if your plugin does something illegal, this is not a bug, this is because WeeChat does minimum checks on plugin calls to API (for fast execution of plugins).

Please tell me which plugin is causing problem.

And I need backtrace with gdb, please look at documentation for info on gdb and crash reports.

I thought to work on an old plugin I never finished. But when I try to load this plugin now, weechat crashes :(

In the past this plugin loaded just fine. I've tried weechat 0.3.2 and 0.3.3
