New submission from Fergus Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The attached patch fixes some bugs in the pty.py module:
- spawn() would not wait for the invoked process to finish.
Also, it did not return a meaningful value, so there was no way
to tell if the invoked process failed. After this patch,
spawn() now waits for the invoked process, and returns the value
returned from os.waitpid().
- There was a bug in the _copy() loop that caused it to spin
using 100% CPU rather than blocking after EOF was reached on
one of the two file descriptors that it was waiting for.
