Even though it's not officially supported by Apple, the "bug" seems to
have been fixed in 10.8.

The fork bug is still there in 10.7.

In 10.6, grand central dispatch is either not shipped by default or at
least not used by numpy hence the problem does not happen.

David is working on making it easier to build numpy / scipy against
OpenBlas (which should be simpler to build than atlas and sometimes
faster) however I could not manage to build / install a recent enough
llvm on my box (so far).

I have not tried that hard though.
