I suggested "None" because that was the value used in r70348 when logMultipocessing is False. I presume you're only talking about when it's True? I'm confused by your "Whatever the value of logMultiprocessing is, ...".

Should the system behaviour really change depending on whether multiprocessing was already imported? I can see why you're suggesting it but it makes me a little uneasy :-S
