Comment (by SimonKing):

 I think now I located the problem exposed by a gdb'ed interactive session.
 When not redirecting stdout, a print statement before the last line of the
 "finally:" clause of _subprocess is executed. But a print statement
 inserted right after the call to `self._subprocess(f, dir, v[0])` in
 `p_iter_fork.__call__` is not executed.

 There is only one line of code between the executed and the not-executed
 print statements: The last line of `_subprocess`' "finally:" clause,
 namely
 {{{
             os._exit(0)
 }}}

 Question to the experts: What could possible go wrong in `os._exit(0)`?
