Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

Oh, I forgot that IO buffered objects also have a lock.  So we would have to 
special-case those as well, unless we take the generic approach...

A problem with the generic approach is that it would leave higher-level 
synchronization objects such as RLock, Event etc. in an inconsistent state.  
Not to mention the case where the lock is taken by the thread calling fork()...
