close failed: [Errno 0] No error goes to stdout

[Yoav]

I run a Java command line program. The point is, that it's not the 
program that output this error message for sure. And I don't expect 
popen3() to catch and report errors. I just want to keep my screen 
output clean, and I expect popen3() to run the program and not let 
anything slip to the screen, after all as I understood it is supposed to 
capture STDERR and STDOUT, but maybe I didn' t understand it right (it's 
quite probable). Anyway anyway I can do such a thing?

Thanks.
