The patch contains all differences between our multiprocessing backport
to 2.4 / 2.5 and the release26-maint branch. The patch should NOT be
applied yet. I've created the patch to discuss the differences.

Several changes could be avoided by monkey patching the threading module
of Python 2.4 and 2.5. Other changes are required like using the old
buffer protocol.

Are you suggesting we apply this to the 2.6/2.7 branch?

Yes, I like to get as much code into 2.6/2.7 as feasible and viable.

See http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/ project.

Python 2.4 and 2.5 only accepts security fixes now.

Since there is now an external port of multiprocessing for Python 
2.4/2.5, I think that we can close this issue.

Feel free to reopen this issue if I'm wrong ;-)
