Martin Panter added the comment:

This patch fixes the exception when releasing the import lock. I also moved the 
Py_XDECREF(gc_module) back out to where it was to keep the patch to a minimum, 
but I don’t really see a way to simplify it much more.

Apparently Solaris supports posix_spawn(), which doesn’t require double the 
memory like fork(). But implementing that would be a significant project, and 
was rejected in Issue 20104.
