One of the buildbots suffered a test_multiprocessing failure, which
itself is not such an unusual thing. But the error that was
subsequently thrown looks like it might point to a place where
importlib's error handling could be improved. The error that was thrown
certainly gives no clear indication of what really caused the problem.
The full buildbot report was:

Here are the tracebacks (the second one being the interesting one):
