subprocess leaks memory on win 7 64bit (Python 2.7.3 32bit).
The following code snippet will fill up memory slowly but completely after running it multiple times. When python exits the memory is not freed.
>>>>>>>>>>
import subprocess
import shlex
for i in range(0, 10000):
 p = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split("ipconfig", posix=False))
 result = p.communicate()
print "end"
