A normal way to start a multiprocessing-pool is like this:
Multiprocessing.Pool(processes=some_number).
However, if 'some_number' is 0 or negative, Python hangs and must be killed. I would expect an error message of the type: "Number of processes must be at least 1".
Attaching a script that reproduces this.
I struggled a bit with this for a program that uses cpu_count() - 4 to calculate 'some_number'. Guess what happens when the number of cores is 4 :) Even though the fix is easy (if some_number < 1), it would be nice to be warned about it.

multiprocessing_pool.patch: raise a ValueError if processes is less than 1. A test should be added.
