[New-bugs-announce] [issue5993] python produces zombie in webbrowser.open

[dontbugme]

New submission from dontbugme <pythonbugsbugmenot at spamavert.com>:

the webbrowser library produces a zombie process when opening urls.

please see http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/928
and the original bug report (by me) on ubuntu's launchpad (https://
bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313149) for details.
could not find any references in your tracker, but i did not test it in 
newer versions than the one supplied in ubuntu atm (2.6.2), so please 
forgive me, if it is already fixed :)
