[issue21594] asyncio.create_subprocess_exec raises OSError

[Sebastian Kreft]

New submission from Sebastian Kreft:

In some cases asyncio.create_subprocess_exec raises an OSError because there are no file descriptors available.

I don't know if that is expected, but IMO I think it would be better to just block until the required numbers of fds are available. Otherwise one would need to do this handling, which is not a trivial task.

This issue is happening in Debian 7, with a 3.2.0-4-amd64 kernel, and python 3.4.1 compiled from source.
