Comment (by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:170 roed]:
> In answer to your question about two layers of multiprocessing, the
reason is to insulate the controlling process from segfaults and serious
failures in the files being tested. If we come up with a design that
satisfies that goal and also allows testing with multiple processes
through `sage -t -p N` I'm happy to change things.
We obviously need one level of multiprocessing to allow segmentation
faults. But my idea would be to skip the first level of multiprocessing
and move the code which is currently in `DocTestWorker` to the top-level
process. I think that would simplify the code substantially.
