[New-bugs-announce] [issue17230] when forking without tty, code is run from start

[jort bloem]

New submission from jort bloem:

When calling os.fork() without a tty, a process reporting the parent's pid runs code BEFORE the fork().

When running on a tty, it behaves as expected: both parent and child continue running from statement immediately after os.fork()

See attached test.py, compare running it with tty vs. without.

to run without tty: ssh localhost `pwd`/test.py
