[issue31818] [macOS] _scproxy.get_proxies() crash -- get_proxies() is not fork-safe?

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw <barry at python.org> added the comment:

My understanding is that this is specifically a problem with the Objective-C runtime that _scproxy.c accesses.  The runtime is not thread safe and whereas in earlier versions of macOS, it silently failed, now macOS is explicitly aborting the process.
