Summary: subprocess test cases fail with noexec-mounted /tmp

Initial Comment:
Hi,

on my Linux box two subprocess tests always fail (see
below for a log output).
The reason is those two tests try to execute files
created with tempfile.mkstemp(), which generates files
in /tmp. And my /tmp directory forbids to execute
files, it is mounted with the "noexec" option.

What I expected from the tests is to either find a
temporary directory where execution is allowed (eg. the
directory where sys.executable lies), or simply skip
those tests.
