Let's find out whether it works first, though.
There do seem to be two distinct bugs playing into it as well, which explains why there were two different sets of symptoms. PythonUtils.bash(), or any alternative implementation that ultimately relies on the subprocess module, is inherently not thread-safe and will occasionally leave zombie processes. At this point I'm not sure whether those processes complete their work and return or not, but there are spare /bin/bash processes living on. I'm also not sure how to fix it without it amounting to a reimplementation of subprocess.Popen. If this patch gets rid of the hang entirely it isn't so important, but we're not sure yet. -Michael
