AMD64 FreeBSD14/15 3.x multiprocessing test failures

Bug report

Bug description:

I don't know which one is the faulty commit so I'm tagaging everyone involved in the recent failures of this build bot.

The build bot is failing since 0c356c8 (cc @skirpichev) but there were warnings since 954b2cf (cc @bswck @sobolevn) for the same tests (I doubt Sergey's commit is actually the faulty one as it shouldn't have touched the interpreter's code itself)

Before that, similar failures appeared since c66ffcf (cc @Yhg1s) and before then, it was failing for a different reason but it was fixed in 102f825.

I would guess it's 954b2cf.

"Warning" actually was a failure for the same test (test_many_threads_running_interp_in_other_interp) in one case. Perhaps, now it's flacky with a low chance to be successful on a re-run.

I think it is 15c75d7.

AMD64 FreeBSD15 3.x is failing since this commit with

    test.test_multiprocessing_fork.test_processes
    test.test_multiprocessing_forkserver.test_processes
    test.test_multiprocessing_spawn.test_processes

In this case, 15c75d7 was the only change: https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1238/builds/5328.

https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1232/builds/5365 on AMD64 FreeBSD14 3.x shows the known test.test_interpreters.test_stress.StressTests.test_many_threads_running_interp_in_other_interp failure (#127108).
This one has the commits 0c356c8 and 0c356c8, but I think they aren't the culprit.

However, beginning with https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1232/builds/5366 the AMD64 FreeBSD14 3.x bot also starts failing with

    test.test_multiprocessing_fork.test_processes
    test.test_multiprocessing_forkserver.test_processes
    test.test_multiprocessing_spawn.test_processes

and 15c75d7 is part of the three changes in there, too.

I will send a fix today

thanks! your fix made sense, merged. reopen if something strange happens and it doesn't.

thanks! your fix made sense, merged. reopen if something strange happens and it doesn't.

Tests still fail: the problem is that _ctypes is missing. I wrote #132842 to fix FreeBSD buildbots.

I think this can be closed now. Thanks Yves and Victor for the patches!
