The question is, does subprocess module leaves fd.close() to GC? If yes it's subprocess problem, either in Jython-specific code, or maybe even generic core subprocess problem, except it only is seen on non-refcounting python implementations. Not sure why newer JVM makes issue disapper. More aggressive GC? But does it guarantee the issue is fixed now? OTOH, if subprocess closes it's objects properly, but still JVM leaves thing hanging, then it's indeed JVM problem.
