Note: "./python -m test -R 3:100 -m test_concurrency test_import" is just a convenient way to run test_concurrency() "in a loop", in the same process, 100 times. I'm unable to reproduce the bug on Linux, even when I write 3 into /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches while the test is running to drop filesystem caches. I also tried to use a temporary directory in my home (TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp) to use temporary files in ext4 rather than tmpfs. But I don't know if importlib uses temporary files or not :-)
