Description

I keep seeing this:

```
__________ test_nonstreaming_chat_completion[False-True-False-False] ___________
/usr/lib/python3.10/threading.py:973: in _bootstrap
self._bootstrap_inner()
/usr/lib/python3.10/threading.py:1011: in _bootstrap_inner
_sys.settrace(_trace_hook)
E RuntimeError: Cannot install a trace function while another trace function is being installed

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in test_nonstreaming_chat_completion[False-True-False-False] under Python 3.10, then inspect the daemon Thread-6 (_flush_loop) and the tracing setup shown in the traceback. Done means the test completes without the RuntimeError or the resulting pytest unraisable-exception warning.
