> Dropping this into Lib/multiprocessing/spawn.py should cause a repro:

  if WINSERVICE:
      _python_exe = os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, 'python.exe')
  else:
      _python_exe = getattr(sys, '_base_executable', sys.executable)

In this case, spawn.get_executable() will return (sys._base_executable), and 
`env` will be set to None anyways no? (see these lines: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/9008be303a89bfab8c3314c6a42330b5523adc8b/Lib/multiprocessing/popen_spawn_win32.py#L59-L68)

We need to trigger the if clause of these lines instead, which happens by 
default in a virtual env -- this is why it is so troubling: even though a very 
simple case (launching a new process from within a virtualenv) should trigger a 
bug, it does not.

> And maybe submit a PR with the fix?

Will do.
