Fix by Donn Cave for BeOS (SF #403642):
UNIX style fork/execve/wait are not fully compatible with thread
support on BeOS. For Python, that means neither fork() from import
nor import from a fork work reliably. os._execvpe() does the latter,
importing tempfile to set up a tantalizing target for hackers. This
patch replaces both the tempfile name generation and the exec that
uses it, in case we're on BeOS. Need this for
setup:distutils:execvp(); symptoms are random crashes and internal
BeOS error messages about th name, in case we're on BeOS. It's an
issue because setup.py + distutils calls os.execvp(); symptoms are
random crashes during setup.py, and internal BeOS error messages
about thread IDs.
