[issue9573] imporing a module that executes fork() raises RuntimeError

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

This may be a case of "don't do that".  Starting a new thread or process during import (ie: while the import lock is held) is dangerous.  Nosying Brett, since he'll know the real story.
