[issue11663] concurrent.futures (or multiprocessing?) doesn't detect killed processes

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

If you do:

./python -c "from concurrent.futures import *; from time import *; t = ProcessPoolExecutor(1); t.submit(sleep, 60)"

and then kill the child process, the parent process doesn't notice and waits endlessly for the child to return the results.

I'm using concurrent.futures here but I assume the bug (or limitation) is on the multiprocessing side?
