[issue4449] AssertionError in Doc/includes/mp_benchmarks.py

Indeed, it seems that multiprocessing uses assertions in many places to 
handle errors in user code. This could be changed, but it is another 
task.

I can apply the patch, but what about 2.6? it's an incompatible API 
change, unless we choose to process "lock=None" the same way as 
"lock=False".
