The OS X Tiger fails more or less intermittently on one of the new multiprocessing tests:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_pickling (test.test_multiprocessing.WithProcessesTestPicklingConnections)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/db3l/buildarea/3.x.bolen-tiger/build/Lib/test/test_multiprocessing.py", line 2032, in test_pickling
    self.assertEqual(new_conn.recv(100), msg.upper())
AssertionError: b'' != b'THIS CONNECTION USES A NORMAL SOCKET'

I can't work out what is wrong here.

The code does not to account for a partial read of the message from the socket.  The attached patch fixes that, but it does not address the cause of this failure.

> I can't work out what is wrong here.

OS-X has known issues with FD-passing over Unix domain sockets, see issues #6560 and #12958.
Since those failures only occur on OS-X buildbots, I'd suggest just skipping them...

The buildbot seems happy, let's close!
