[issue5808] Subprocess.getstatusoutput Fails Executing 'dir' Command on Windows

Also the same issue does apply for command.getstatusoutput in Python 2.6.

Maybe this bug should be reopened and solved by adding a platform check
in the module. Also the documentation does not specify what would be the
right multiplatform alternative.

Anyway, the current result it's clearly not the expected behavior and
does not give any hint regarding the source of the problem or possible
solutions.
