When I run this on macOS, either with the bug, or with the buggy line commented out, I get the same hang. When I interrupt it, I get
 a separate traceback from each thread. Here's the full session:

(I added some prints to the script. Here's the script I ran:)
import os
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
def new_process(arg):
 pid = os.fork()
 if pid == 0:
 print("Child", os.getpid())
 ## os.execl("/usr/bin/true", "/usr/bin/true")
 else:
 print("Parent", pid)
 pid, status = os.waitpid(pid, 0)
 print("Done", pid, os.getpid())
executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4)
futures = [executor.submit(new_process, None)
 for i in range(0, 4)]
for fut in futures:
 fut.result()
When I uncomment the os.execl() line, the program runs and completes.
