If I'm reading the issue correctly, it isn't that it doesn't work, it's that the concurrent.futures tests fail because they create more semaphores than the default FreeBSD install supports.

Doesn't it suggest a possible resource leak somewhere? Or do the concurrent tests really rely on creating many semaphores? (as opposed to say 5 or 10 of them)

Regards

Antoine.
