jockey itself just does this:

        p = subprocess.Popen(['lsb_release', '-sir'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
            stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, close_fds=True)
        out = p.communicate()

which, as far as I can see, is a valid usage of subprocess. There seems
to be a race condition in subprocess which sometimes does not initialize
the pid properly.

Bhuvan, do you know how to reproduce this crash?

** Changed in: python2.5 (Ubuntu)
