[issue3088] test_multiprocessing hangs on OS X 10.5.3

I found that on my Debian64, running test_multiprocessing under gdb
hangs even before the first test is started - somewhere in the
installation of the Manager.

And it appears that the problem is described in issue874900: "threading
module can deadlock after fork".
I don't know if it's a good idea to mix fork and threads, but the patch
I attached to issue874900 seems to correct the hang.
