[Bug 1077153] [NEW] Backport request: http://bugs.python.org/issue14308

[Mark Gius]

Public bug reported:

Resolved Upstream Issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue14308

Based on my experimentation with the test script included in that ticket
the threads throw the exceptions when the context switch back to the
thread happens, not on cleanup of the thread (throw a print and
sys.stdout.flush() on either side of the sleep to demonstrate this),
which means this could have a drastic effect on programs which use both
threads and os.fork() (through, say, subprocess.Popen).

** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
