I have been looking into the (seemingly random) testpopen2 failures today, and found that it fails when the tests

I played with this some last night and found the same ordering. I have a different patch that also fixes the problem. It also fixes 2-3 bugs I think. Basically the child could be waited on from outside popen (or from 2 threads). The question is what should we do if that happens? I wrapped some calls and handled the exceptions. Threads can be handled fine since we have the return result. But if the child was waited on from outside popen, we don't have the status info. I'm not sure what to do about that.

There is a problem with the patch that I should use self.sts if it's not -1. See bug #1183780 for the details.
