test_subprocess fails quite often on your buildbot, so with a bit of
patience you can probably reproduce it for sure. If you use "-r
--randseed 2463396" it will schedule test_subprocess quite early, so you
can stop the test run as soon as that test is finished.

Also, debug output has been added in branches/test_subprocess_10826 :
