Gregory P. Smith 0806749e63 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.

Christian Heimes 3628187b66 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.
