New submission from Matt Chaput <m...@whoosh.ca>:

If you start unit tests with a command line such as "python setup.py test" or 
"nosetests", if the tested code starts a multiprocessing.Process on Windows, 
each new process will act as if it was started as "python setup.py 
test"/"nosetests", leading to an infinite explosion of processes that 
eventually locks up the entire machine.
