Does it fail if you run it outside of Pythonwin?  Are you sure you're 
closing all of the pipes properly before starting a new one?  Have you 
tried this with the new "subprocess" module?

Error 1816 is an "exceeded quota" sort of error.  You've hit some kind 
of limit, although I'm not sure which one.
