Well my example is explicitly using PIPE for stderr & stdin, but I don't know 
how to tell it to ignore stdin. The value None seems to be used to signal that 
the existing stdin is used and that fails. I believe the solution is just to use 
PIPE for stdin as well and then I don't have to write to it.
