[issue28165] The 'subprocess' module leaks roughly 4 KiB of memory per call

[Xavion]

Xavion added the comment:

I wouldn't have reported this if it was only happening *once*.  I already have it in a loop; a new shell command is fired every second.

The memory footprint increases by roughly 4 KiB *each* time.  I monitor it via the following Bash script:
    while true; do
        ps -C "python3 ./Program.pyw" -o pid=,%mem=,rss= >> ./Output.log
        sleep 1
    done &

I have attached the logfile for your convenience.  Let me know if you'd like me to run any other tests.
