This sounds quite wrong, but it should at least explain why a test of the "raise" statement would produce a core file! (but I think you should consider removing this part)

I managed to convince myself before checking it in that a bunch of the weirdness in Ethan's subprocess test made sense, but I think I was just wrong about that (I certainly can't come up with a sane rationalisation now).

Assigned a bug to myself to fix it: http://bugs.python.org/issue14136

Cheers, Nick.
