[docs] [issue34786] ProcessPoolExecutor documentation reports wrong exception being raised

I think it raises BrokenThreadPool . A sample program that I tried as below raising an exception in the initializer. Maybe I am wrong here. Can you please attach a script that triggers BrokenProcessPool?

# bpo34786.py

import concurrent.futures
import time

def bar(i):
    raise Exception(i) # Raise exception from the initializer

def foo(i):
    time.sleep(i)
    return "1"

with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5,
                                           initializer=bar, initargs=(1,)) as executor:
    future_to_url = {executor.submit(foo, i, 60): i for i in range(10)}
    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(future_to_url):
        try:
            data = future.result()
        except Exception as exc:
            print('generated an exception: %s' % (exc))
        else:
            print('%d bytes' % (len(data)))

# Run the program

./python.exe ../backups/bpo34786.py
