Bug description:
  Resolved Upstream Issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue14308

  Based on my experimentation with the test script included in that
  ticket the threads throw the exceptions when the context switch back
  to the thread happens, not on cleanup of the thread (throw a print and
  sys.stdout.flush() on either side of the sleep to demonstrate this),
  which means this could have a drastic effect on programs which use
  both threads and os.fork() (through, say, subprocess.Popen).
