Since multiprocessing also depends on threading, the change has broken the 
"AMD64 Fedora without threads 3.x" buildbot.  I had not realized that the 
buildbots ran the test suite using multiple processes.

I am not sure how best to refactor things -- I don't think multiprocessing 
should import test.support.  Maybe we should just live with the duplication.
