Comment (by SimonKing):

 I tried inserting print statements into
 sage.parallel.use_fork.p_iter_fork._subprocess.

 The print statements ''are'' executed when successfully running the
 example in an interactive session.

 They are ''not'' executed when running it interactively under gdb. Hence,
 _subprocess (which contains the invalidation of pexpect interfaces) is not
 involved in the interactive error under gdb.

 They ''are'' executed when running the doctests. The test then fails
 (because of the unexpected print statements), but there is no signal 11.

 What could that mean? Perhaps we actually have two independent problems in
 the same example: One appears in a gdb'ed interactive session and can be
 fixed with #13437. The other appears with `sage -t` and remains a mystery.
