Yes. Especially when you stumble upon a kernel/libc bug 25% of the time...

So, what should I do?
Apply the test catching the multiprocessing.connection ImportError to
test_multiprocessing (which is necessary even with the current C
version)?

And then apply the pure Python version, or wait until the OpenIndiana
case gets fixed?
