[New-bugs-announce] [issue3095] multiprocessing initializes flags dict unsafely

[Adam Olsen]

New submission from Adam Olsen <rhamph at gmail.com>:

multiprocessing.c currently has code like this:

	temp = PyDict_New();
	if (!temp)
		return;
	if (PyModule_AddObject(module, "flags", temp) < 0)
		return;

PyModule_AddObject consumes the reference to temp, so it could
conceivable be deleted before the rest of this function finishes.
