Works around issue3863: freebsd4/5/6 and os2emx are known to have OS bugs when
...
calling fork() from a child thread. This disables that unit test (with a note
printed to stderr) on those platforms.
A caveat about buggy platforms is added to the os.fork documentation.

Fix for feature request #1528 Add os.fchmod
...
Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
I've made a quick test of fchmod() and fchown() on my system. They are working as expected.
