another thread when fork() was called.
To avoid this set a ``OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY`` environment
variable, for example::
$ OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES ./runtests.py
Or add ``export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES`` to your shell's
startup file (e.g. ``~/.profile``).
