New submission from Gabriel Tardif :
Hello
This bug is about the maxtasksperchild parameter in the Pool object constructor
of the multiprocessing module.
When you set processes = 1 in the Pool constructor
maxtasksperchild value is double by two for unknow raison whatever the
maxtaskperchild value.
As mentionned in the documentation, once the process has reach the
maxtasksperchil value it should rebuild itself in the memory from the parent
process.
In the short python exemple provided below, you can see the value of
showedFiles of each process incresing over 1 which is not normal if Pool
constructor is set to processes = 1, maxtasksperchil = 1.
The only running process should destroy / reset itself and so set its value
'showedFiles' to 0 first and 1 for each os.listdir() entry.
