Thanks for also trying it out, Brian.

I feel there's little more I can do. I guess the multiprocessing module could 
be documented a bit better that join() ought to be called before the pool is 
deleted? Currently, the docs merely say:

"Wait for the worker processes to exit. One must call close() or terminate() 
before using join()." 
(http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.multiprocessing.Pool.join)

Something along the following lines could be added:

"You must call join() when you no longer need the pool; otherwise, zombie 
processes may keep running."

I'm happy to provide a patch, if needed.
