That's a known bug in multiprocessing apparently,

http://bugs.python.org/issue4106

I am not sure why it's triggered in Distribute, but it happens when
the garbage collector has staretd to remove some refs. Notice that the
work is over, and everything is installed.

I am not sure we can do something clean on Distribute side until it's
fixed in Python,

Can you reproduce this problem *everytime* ?

ps: I am putting Jesse in the loop, he might have an idea
