I think it's the same problem as issue #12316: in the child process, even
calling pthread_create can segfault/abort on FreeBSD6 (async-safe blahblah...).
Tests creating a thread from a fork()ed process should be skipped on FreeBSD6.
Patch attached, along with some refactoring to use the skipIf idiom.
As for test_3_join_in_forked_from_thread, well, it could be more or less the
same problem. We're really doing something prohibited by POSIX, so things might
break in unexpected ways. For example, calling pthread_condition_destroy from
the child process can deadlock (see http://bugs.python.org/issue6721#msg136047).
Victor: to debug this kind of problem, it would be great if faulthandler could
also dump tracebacks of children processes. Do you mind if I create a new issue?
