[New-bugs-announce] [issue6337] multiprocessing module: Double close of sys.stdin - ID: 2811568

[Alexey Akimov]

New submission from Alexey Akimov <subdir at gmail.com>:

Double close of FD 0 when child process spawns its own child process.
Bug causes wrong file descriptors to be closed.
Bug affects only posix system.

How to reproduce:

>>> import multiprocessing as mp
>>> def child(q):
... print 'current process:', mp.current_process().name
... q.put(1)
... q.get()
... p = mp.Process(None, child, args=(mp.Queue(),))
... p.start()
...
>>> q = mp.Queue()
>>> child(q)
current process: MainProcess
current process: Process-1
current process: Process-1:1
Process Process-1:1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
