paramiko SSHClient.connect not thread safe

Hi,

Ubuntu 10.04, python 2.6.5 and a few threads that basically do this:

s = paramiko.SSHClient()
s.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
s.load_system_host_keys()
s.connect(hostname, username=uname)

Running these threads causes this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "threadedssh.py", line 67, in run
    s.connect(hostname, username=uname)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/paramiko/client.py", line 278, in connect
    for (family, socktype, proto, canonname, sockaddr) in socket.getaddrinfo(hostname, port, socket.AF_UNSPEC, socket.SOCK_STREAM):
gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

However if I do this:

sLock.acquire()
s.connect(hostname, username=uname)
sLock.release()

Everything works just fine.

What can I do????
