I don't have a good suggestion (or a computer with a keyboard anywhere near me) right now, but making a migration/fallback to SYSV style semaphores a release blocker seems like a mistake to me.
And indeed, I don't propose to make that a release blocker. Instead, I propose to disable support for the module (either multiprocessing or concurrent.futures only) on FreeBSD, and make such disabling a release blocker.
Note that we only know that the test fails on FreeBSD 7.2. The current release is FreeBSD 8.1. The 8.x series might work just fine. I don't know which test is failing under 7.2. Has anyone tested it under 7.3 or 8.x? bye Philip
