Malte Helmert added the comment: Here is a patch that adds a test case to test_posix.py. This is ignored on Windows, as it requires fork.
There is a trade-off: If WAIT_TIME isn't large enough, small irregularities in the process scheduler might cause this to fail. If it is too large, the unit tests will take long for everyone. Currently, WAIT_TIME is 0.1 seconds and the tolerance in the assertion is about 5%, which works well for me. Not sure how this behaves on very busy machines.
