+Fix a reference issue inside :class:`multiprocessing.Pool` that caused
+the pool to remain alive if it was deleted without being closed or
+terminated explicitly. A new strong reference is added to the pool
+iterators to link the lifetime of the pool to the lifetime of its
+iterators so the pool does not get destroyed if a pool iterator is
+still alive.
