Research direction
Start with the linked plumbum-crash-repro repository and reproduce the shutdown crash in plumbum/commands/processes.py around line 286. Compare importing the Boost.Python extension with leaving it unloaded under clang and the gold linker. Done means identifying and resolving the crash in the described configuration, with the reproduction confirming clean shutdown.

Description
I am not sure it is boost.python's fault, since there are a lot of variables in the equation, but please take a look.
I prepared the repro case and gathered some info in this repo: https://github.com/mmatrosov/plumbum-crash-repro
In short, if you import an extension library in c++ which uses boost.python, compiles with clang and links with gold, there is a crash in this line https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum/blob/master/plumbum/commands/processes.py#L286 during program shutdown. It does not happen if the extension is not loaded, and I've never experienced this crash even though plumbum is widely used in our scripts.
