  Works around issue3863: freebsd4/5/6 and os2emx are known to have OS bugs when
  calling fork() from a child thread.  This disables that unit test (with a note
  printed to stderr) on those platforms.

  A caveat about buggy platforms is added to the os.fork documentation.

  problematic test is wound back.
