I'd like to report a problem I encountered with the discussed use pattern using 
subprocess-timeout-v5.patch on linux. I don't have python3 installed at work, 
sorry.

When running:
p = subprocess.Popen("tcpdump -i eth0 > file &", stdin=subprocess.PIPE, 
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True, 
universal_newlines=True)
try:
    out, err = p.communicate(timeout=1)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
    p.kill()
    out, err = p.communicate()

After the timeout happens, the last line raises a ValueError: I/O operation on 
closed file.

The exception is thrown from the register_and_append call for self.stdout in 
_communicate_with_poll. I'm sorry again for not being able to attach the full 
traceback.

The problem doesn't reproduce without the '&' or the '> file', and doesn't 
reproduce with other executables I've tried.
