I just submitted a bug at SF entitled 'os.popen() negative error code
IOError'. However, not knowing SF too well, I've messed up the formatting of
the test code, so here it is.

When a negative return code is received by the os.popen() family, an IOError
is raised when the last pipe from the 
process is closed. 

The following code demonstrates the problem: 

import sys 
import os 
import traceback 

import sys
import os
import traceback

if __name__ == '__main__':

    if len(sys.argv) == 1:
        
        try:
            r = os.popen('%s %s %s' % (sys.executable, sys.argv[0], -1,))
            r.close()
        except IOError:
            traceback.print_exc()

        try:
            w, r = os.popen2('%s %s %s' % (sys.executable, sys.argv[0],
-1,))
            w.close()
            r.close()
        except IOError:
            traceback.print_exc()

        try:
            w, r, e = os.popen3('%s %s %s' % (sys.executable, sys.argv[0],
-1,))
            w.close()
            r.close()
            e.close()
        except IOError:
            traceback.print_exc()

    else:
        sys.exit(int(sys.argv[1]))

---------- Run ----------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Q:\Viper\src\webvis\tests\test.py", line 11, in ?
    r.close()
IOError: (0, 'Error')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Q:\Viper\src\webvis\tests\test.py", line 18, in ?
    r.close()
IOError: (0, 'Error')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Q:\Viper\src\webvis\tests\test.py", line 26, in ?
    e.close()
IOError: (0, 'Error')
