Yes.  Subprocess invocation no longer hangs on Cent OS 5 or Mac OS X
10.6.  Closing the bug.

BTW, the transition from explicit file descriptor close before exec by
close-process-descs to the use of close-on-exec seems to work as a
workaround for a kernel bug on OS X 10.8, which causes kernel panic on
exit (Bug IDs 13682, 13726, 13799, 13901, 14119, and 14478).
