+Subject: Avoid multiprocessing behavior change in py3.14
+
+Python 3.14 defaults to using forkserver instead of fork
+method when spawning new processes. This causes the default
+testsuites to fail. This patch explicitly specify the fork
+method to keep the old behavior as in Python 3.13 and earlier.
