Here's how I changed poll() in multiprocessing/forking.py:

try:
pid, sts = os.waitpid(self.pid, flag)
except OSErr
New submission from Gary Yee :

a different process space so they can be done as a different user. I am thus
using multiprocessing in a multithreaded (Linux) application.
Problem:
In multiproce
