[issue7242] Forking in a thread raises RuntimeError

[Greg Jednaszewski]

I tested the updated patch, and the new unit test passes on my Sol 8 sparc, but the test_threading test still hangs on my system.  However, given that the test is skipped on several platforms and it does work on more relevant versions of Solaris, it's probably OK.  It's possible that an OS bug is causing that particular hang.

Plus, the original patch fixed the 'real world' scenario I was running into, so I'd like to see it get into the release candidate if you're OK with it.
