[issue7242] Forking in a thread raises RuntimeError

[Zsolt Cserna]

Zsolt Cserna <zsolt.cserna at morganstanley.com> added the comment:

There's a bundled unittest in test_httpservers which actually fails if this patch is not applied.

See the unittest attached. Unfortunatelly RuntimError is raised in the child process after fork() so I cannot re-raise it to the parent, instead I send a message from the child to the parent via a pipe if the child is ok.
