Unittests for subprocess module has weird comment:
We cannot use os.path.realpath to canonicalize the path, since it

It seems to me that the resolution of that issue should have been to
either make os.path.realpath work correctly on Tru64, so we can freely
use it as documented. If that is not possible, the doc should say not
available ... and the test skipped on Tru64. I realizes that skipping
tests is perhaps easier now.
