Message 249068 - Python tracker

When using multiprocessing.Pool, if the function run in the pool segfaults, the program will simply hang forever. However when using multiprocessing.Process directly, it runs fine, setting the exitcode to -11 as expected.

I would expect the Pool to behave similar to Process, or at the very least an exception to be raised instead of just silently hanging forever.

I was able to reproduce this issue both on Linux (Ubuntu 15.04) and Mac OS X.
