Hello,
when trying to see if issue6661 was still valid, I run test_multiprocessing in a tight loop and I got it reproducibly stuck on test_make_pool:

...

test_imap_unordered (test.test_multiprocessing.WithManagerTestPool) ... ok
test_make_pool (test.test_multiprocessing.WithManagerTestPool) ... 

when I enter Ctrl+C here's the traceback (on 2.7 HEAD):

It's reproducible here so I can make any tests you want to verify the problem (I don't know what to look at, sorry); just to give some more info, here's a Debian sid on AMD64.

Cheers,
Sandro

PS: it's my first bug report to python, so please be gentle and forgive any mistakes I could have made :)

just for the reference, the loop I ran was:

 while date ; do ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_multiprocessing ; done

It's probably a duplicate of http://bugs.python.org/issue8428
It would be nice if you could try to reproduce it with a py3k snapshot though, just to be sure.

Thanks for reminding me of this issue. I let the same tight loop run on an up-to-date python for a whole day and not stuck happened.
