Well, I'm not asking anyone to rewrite the entire multiprocessing test suite; and, besides, I've provided a patch myself to improve it in that respect ;) (in issue10173)

Of course, it also means the present pickle patch is imperfect, though the result of __reduce__ in this case looks more like a side-effect of an implementation detail than documented behaviour (since the result isn't usable anyway). I may try to come up with a better patch before the 3.2 beta but it's not sure I will find enough time/motivation.

resolution: fixed -> 
stage: committed/rejected -> patch review
