[qmtest] cPickle.UnpickleableError: Cannot pickle <type 'thread.lock'> objects

[Sven Lundblad]

I have target classes that spawns a thread per instance that it 
dispatches one test at a time to. This allows RunTest to return directly 
back to the execution engine. My _RecordResult looks like this:
     def _RecordResult(self, result):
         """Run after a test have been executed by __RunTests()."""
         # Make us idle (idle is counted down when the scheduler
         # posts a new Test in RunTest).
         assert self.jobthread_id == thread.get_ident()
         if(result.GetKind() == result.TEST):
             self.lock.acquire()
             self.idle = self.idle + 1
             self.lock.release()
         Target._RecordResult(self, result)
     # End of _RecordResult
