I propose closing this as 3th-party or out-of-date:

1) The crash in _scproxy is due to limitations in Apple's libraries, in particular they don't work in child processes created with os.fork() without calling execv*()

2) The primary way to run into this is by the use of the multiprocessing library. The default spawn strategy for multiprocessing was changes to "spawn" instead of "fork" in 3.8 (for macOS) because of problems like this.
