[issue3088] test_multiprocessing hangs on OS X 10.5.3

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

test_multiprocessing is also still hanging for me, perhaps 30% of the 
times I run the test suite.

When running the test by itself it seems to pass much more often, but 
not always.  I just got the following output (on OS X 10.5.3/Intel).
There was a hang at test_get;  after around half-an-hour I hit Ctrl-C.
