Bug #124572, was updated on 2000-Dec-05 09:10
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Modules
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 5

Assigned to : Nobody
Summary: Python 2.0 os.system() failure, Debian Linux 2.2.17, i686

Details: Configuration: [GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2

When using os.system() to run a C executable, we noticed that the executable exited about 1/3 of the way through it's processing cycle. The same executable plus invocation ran to completion using system() within a C program. 

To work around the problem, we rebuilt Python using --with-threads=no. The os.system() call then worked as expected.

Thanks,

Gerry Wiener

Comment:
It certainly would be easier to attempt to debug this
if you gave some indication about the C executable
in question.
