[issue17555] Creating new processes after importing multiprocessing.managers consumes more and more memory

[Marc Brünink]

New submission from Marc Brünink:

Importing multiprocessing.managers and creating new processes recursively is not a good idea. You will run out of memory very fast.  On my
machine with 8GB it only takes about 20 forks until I start swapping.
