[issue3863] 2.6rc1: test_threading hangs on FreeBSD 6.3 i386

I believe this issue ties into the underlying problem FreeBSD 6.x upto
and including 6.3R have with fork() in a threaded application - see the
6.3R errata notice referenced in issue3864.

The issue should be fixed in FreeBSD 6.4 (currently in beta), but it
would be nice to get the patch in to Python 2.6 and Python 3.0 (not sure
about 2.5) just so that running the test doesn't hang on earlier 6.x
releases.
