When called by `_create_pseudo_member_()`, the dictionary iteration of `_value2member_map` in `_decompose()` in enum.py may lead to a "RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration". For me, it happened in `re.compile`.

```

Simon, can you post the exact line of code that causes the error?  It would be useful for creating a test case and the couple things I have tried to duplicate the error have worked fine.

Run this a couple of times (it fails for me the first time, but it's a race, so YMMV):

```
import enum
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor


class MyEnum(enum.IntFlag):
    one = 1


with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
    print(list(executor.map(MyEnum.one.__or__, range(1000))))
```

An easy fix would be:

```
diff --git a/Lib/enum.py b/Lib/enum.py

Thanks.  I'll go through and audit all my dictionary iterations.

Fixed the race condition for both the RuntimeError and for getting duplicate composite members.

Our production system hit this issue using Python 3.6.7 once a few days ago, so presumably the race is still possible with the applied patch, just less likely?

The latest patch from issue38045 should make race-conditions non-existent.
