Summary: fix to pty.spawn error on Linux

Initial Comment:
I submitted a bug report, id 581698 called 'pty.spawn -
wrong error caught'.

System: RedHat Linux 7.3, using Python2.

About a year ago, the final 'except' statement was
changed to catch IOError rather than just error. 
However, at least on my system, the os.read call raises
an OSError, not an IOError.  Therefore, the wrong error
type is now caught.

Patch attached.

Rasjid.

Thanks for the patch. Committed (in a slightly modified
form) as pty.py 1.12.

Actually, a bit more testing revealed some more errors when
the main process had its standard input and output something
other than a tty.

I attach my second version of the patch.

Rasjid.
