[Python-checkins] r79925 - python/trunk/Lib/test/test_multiprocessing.py

New Revision: 79925

Log:
Try to turn some buildbots green by allowing test_multiprocessing to pass even if it hits the sys.exc_clear code in the threading module, and improve the test coverage by making the ctypes dependencies a bit more granular (two of the cited ctypes objects don't exist on my system)
