On Linux - tested on: Arch linux @ Debian Squeeze, this fails
 python -c "__import__('webbrowser').open('http://python.org')"
The exception thats raised is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/usr/lib/python3.2/webbrowser.py", line 70, in open_new_tab
 return open(url, 2)

 if browser.open(url, new, autoraise):

Noticed that this wont raise an error when stdin arg isn't passed to Popen:
line 237:
 p = subprocess.Popen(cmdline, close_fds=True, stdin=inout,
Removing tdin=inout makes firefox load ok, however this is there for a reason so its not a useful fix ofcourse.
