Hi Tim,

Thanks for your reply.

I added test case using perl and python since it was easy to reproduce using perl socket module and show the issue happening with python's subprocess.py. There is definitely an action required in subprocess.py to catch 'invalid handle error' and my attached patch handle this situation.

I can come up with a test case like perl does to create a listening socket and map the socket handle to a file descriptor. You will see this issue *only* when the open_osfhandle(..) is used to map the handle to a file descriptor.
