First culprit I'd look at is the mixing of subprocess and threading. It's entirely possible that something goes messy when you fork from a thread. Separately: You're attempting a very messy charset decode there. You attempt to decode as UTF-8, errors ignored, and if that fails, you log an error... and continue on with the original bytes. You're risking shooting yourself in the foot there; I would recommend you have an explicit fall-back (maybe re-decode as Latin-1??), so the next code is guaranteed to be working with Unicode. Currently, it might get a unicode or a str. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
