Stupid me! As written in the comment the fix only applies 
for windows so the OS should have been checked. Uploaded a 
new patch, which was tested on Linux & Windows XP.

The patch is incorrect. On Unix, I get

"/home/martin/work/py2.4/python": can't open file
'"/home/martin/work/py2.4/Lib/test/tf_inherit_check.py"'
test test_tempfile failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/martin/work/py2.4/Lib/test/test_tempfile.py",
line 304, in test_noinherit
    self.failIf(retval > 0, "child process reports failure")
  File "/home/martin/work/py2.4/Lib/unittest.py", line 288,
in failIf
    if expr: raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: child process reports failure
