This is presumably related to issue 3864, and appears to be due
to a platform bug on freebsd6.

available cipher list.  Helps fix test_ssl with OpenSSL 1.0.0.

Two itimer tests and an interprocess signal test fail on FreeBSD 6 if
any test that starts a thread runs before test_signal.  Since FreeBSD7
does not show this behavior, the bug is most likely a platform bug,
so this patch just skips the failing tests on freebsd6.

Rather than depending on some sleep value, start up an interpreter
as a subprocess and communicate with it. Because subprocess pipes
can't be read from until EOF and I want to read from them before that,
use ctypes to peek by using PeekNamedPipe. Once the subprocess has
written the message, then it is ready to roll and accept signals.
After that, kill it.
