It is complex.  Note that creating a new interpreter isn't enough by itself
to put you into restricted execution mode; creating a new interpreter is
"just" the most likely way to end with unexpected values in sys.modules and
sys.path.  From there, it's possible too that a function/method object
created in one interpreter ends up being _executed_ in a different
interpreter, and then there's some chance that will end up in restricted
execution mode, and more by accident than by design.  I don't know the
detailed mechanism by which that can by happen, I just know I've read about
it about happening, and believed it at the time.

Not me -- anyone else, please give John a hand here.
