Hangs when used with eventlet

[notok]

Hello,

I tried to use this module with eventlet.
But it hangs when calling mgzip.compress() after eventlet.monkey_patch().

When killing the process with SIGINT (Ctrl+C), many thread seems to be running (Over 50 threads).

Is this a known behavior?

Here's a minimized code to reproduce this.

import eventlet
eventlet.monkey_patch()

import mgzip

s = b"a big string..."
c = mgzip.compress(s)
