Is the subprocess module thread-safe?

[John Nagle]

    Can the subprocess module be used to launch subprocesses from threads?
Or does the subprocess module affect the entire process context, like "fork"?
Or is this OS dependent?

    Also, if you launch processes from the subprocess module module and
don't wait them to complete, do zombies accumulate under UNIX/Linux?
