Description

Bug report

During build RPM for python3.11rc1 I've found tracebacks for tests from test suite test_multiprocessing_forkserver.py, test_multiprocessing_fork.py, and test_multiprocessing_spawn.py :

[root@xxx test]# python3.11 test_multiprocessing_forkserver.py

I suppose, that tracebacks are not ok during test. Or close the bug, if it normal.
Some KeyError are present in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/95396.

Research direction

Reproduce the failures with test_multiprocessing_forkserver.py, test_multiprocessing_fork.py, and test_multiprocessing_spawn.py on the reported Python 3.11 Linux environment. Read multiprocessing/resource_tracker.py around line 209 and compare the KeyError cases mentioned in pull request 95396. Done means establishing whether these tracebacks are expected and, if not, making the affected tests complete without them.
