Research direction

The issue body provides no source file, test, reproduction, or entry point beyond the multiprocessing component and the original BPO 39414 link. Start by reading the linked report and locating the relevant multiprocessing behavior. Done should mean the reported object-resolution problem is reproduced, its expected behavior is defined, and a regression test demonstrates the fix.
