New submission from Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org>:
The test case below will (on Linux here) eventually quit with "OSError:
[Errno 24] Too many open files". I assume that some additional cleaning
up is in order.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
while 1:
try:
Popen(['nonexisting'], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
except OSError, err:
if err.errno != 2: # ignore "no such file"
raise
