+A :exc:`DeprecationWarning` may be raised when :func:`os.fork()` or
+:func:`os.forkpty()` is called from multi-threaded processes. Forking
+with threads is unsafe and can cause deadlocks, crashes and subtle
+problems. Lack of a warning does not indicate that the fork call was
+actually safe, as Python may not be aware of all threads.
