On OSX 10.3.4, test_subprocess is failing intermittently when run from regrtest:

Running just the test by itself works. I'm guessing it could be part of the test suite leaking a FD or something?
That shouldn't matter, since when you are using close_fds=True, the
subprocess module will close all filedescriptors. For example, you can
insert additional lines with os.pipe() at the beginning of test_close_fds,
and the test (should) still succeed(s).
