I'm sort of surprised FreeBSD support is still broken in this way though (echoed by Philip) although it could be an issue on that particular buildbot.
If I'm reading the issue correctly, it isn't that it doesn't work, it's that the concurrent.futures tests fail because they create more semaphores than the default FreeBSD install supports.
Doesn't it suggest a possible resource leak somewhere? Or do the concurrent tests really rely on creating many semaphores? (as opposed to say 5 or 10 of them) Regards Antoine.
