I can not currently build the emacs-24 branch (and haven't found a
commit in it that I can on a quick try), see bug#17629.

Using trunk (git 40f5ec0 * alloc.c (Fgarbage_collect): Fix compilation
with GC_MARK_STACK == GC_USE_GCPROS_AS_BEFORE.) now, built with your
patch and this command:

$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure --without-x && make clean && make

When restarting Emacs, I had the bug happen again right away. Sadly
without a running strace.

When my Emacs starts, I connect to a few IRC servers, and my IRC client
then starts flyspell in the channel buffers. I got this error right
away:

Error in post-command-hook (flyspell-post-command-hook): (error
"process ispellno longer connected to pipe; closed it")


After this, killing Python RPC processes reproduced it again as well.

strace:
