I noticed that the change is still present in 2.7a.  For what it's worth, I 
agree with David:

"""
Since it does trigger a crash on the windows equivalent API, the check should 
be conditional on platform.  And it should generate a py3k warning on other 
platforms.
"""

I am changing classification to "feature request" and adding "Windows" to the 
list of components because if I understand David correctly, the title of the 
issue is valid only on Windows platform.  (On other platforms os.execlp(path) 
may cause a crash of the program found at path, but not a crash of python 
interpreter itself.)  I also remove 2.6 from the list of versions since after 
r79190 no further action is contemplated for 2.6 branch.

----------
components: +Windows
type: crash -> feature request
versions:  -Python 2.6
