Greg, I'm not sure your improvement patch is right, since some code may be holding a reference to the former _MainThread instance and expecting it to still be part of the active threads container. On the other hand there are things in the Thread class that may need reinitializing after a fork (e.g. self.__block = Condition(Lock()), and self.__ident = _get_ident() :-))... so perhaps your patch is a good enough approximation of what is needed.
