It should not be anything windows specific here.

Also notice that although "it works", the reproducer in https://bugs.python.org/issue38501#msg354813 is out of contract because is not closing or terminating the pool correctly and is not using it with the context manager so if you are dealing with code equivalent to that I would suggest to take a look to properly finalize/finalize the pool to about similar problems (or other problems related to late finalization).

resolution:  -> fixed
