New submission from André Neto <andre.c.n...@gmail.com>:

I'm working on a project where I need to share state between several processes 
(forked using gunicorn). I'm using dictionaries obtained from a multiprocessing 
SyncManager to achieve this.

The issue is that if I have multiple forked processes concurrently accessing to 
different dictionaries created by the same SyncManager, the code will randomly 
crash while accessing (read-only and read-write) to any of the dictionaries. 
This behaviour is independent of the way I access the dictionary (i.e. it 
happens both using the dictionary functions (e.g. has_key) or the built-in 
keywords (e.g. key in dict).

The attached snippet demonstrates the issue (tested only in python2.7): the 
function test_manyForkedProcessesSingleThreaded will crash.

The issue is also being discussed here:
