[issue10845] test_multiprocessing failure under Windows

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

On xp, changing from -m test to -m test.regrtest removed the extra craziness during and after the test run that I reported on pydev.

I think making at least a tempory fix to whatever -m test runs should be a release blocker so only individual tests and not the test process are broken. If necessary, just refuse to run under windows and say to use test.regrtest as before. (I believe I did use -m test.regrtest on 3.1 and 2.7 as -m test is not implemented for those.)
