[issue7292] Multiprocessing Joinable race condition?

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk added the comment:

unfinished_tasks is simply used as a counter.  It is only accessed while holding self._cond.  If you get this error then I think the error text is correct -- your progam calls task_done() to many times.

The proposed patch silences the sanity check by making it block for a while instead.  The fact the program seems to work without deadlocking does not mean the program or the patch is correct.

Without more information I will close this.
