Hi All

There are about 347 results for the following query on the google search engine: "python multiprocessing pyinstaller crash site:stackoverflow.com"

The windows fork bomb is a known frequent occurrence. I know that freeze_support is supposed to be called but this issue still catches me out most times (and many others).

I propose adding to line 117 of multiprocessing/context.py if (sys.platform == 'win32'): self.freeze_support()
