    i wont be able to deep debug before next week

    does this only happen on 3.12?

    i suspect a new stafety is in place, and i think we need to switch to a better error for the details

    as per python/cpython#104690 its new in python3.12

    the issue description indicates it was wrong to run such code in atexit to begin with

    we need a bufix

    should be possible to use threading._register_atexit python/cpython#86128
