[issue26434] multiprocessing cannot spawn grandchild from a Windows service

[Davin Potts]

Davin Potts added the comment:

Attached is a patch for the 2.7 branch which adds the check described in the previous message.

I don't see a reasonable way to provide an accompanying test because it requires registering a win32 service (requiring administrative privileges) temporarily to attempt to provoke the issue.

Can I request that someone else run the full regression tests on this patch?  I am unable to complete a standard run of tests as my Windows 7 development system is set up for building Python 3.x (newer Visual Studio) and am hesitant to fight with Visual Studio configurations.
