That's fair. Is this a "bad-enough mistake"? From a brief reading of the 2 bug reports, combined with my own trouble-free experience with Popen (always leaving close_fds as default), it doesn't seem so, to me. If someone provides evidence that this is a serious bug in the API, then that's a different matter.
