I've switched back to os.popen() since I seem to get the same
problems with either.  The odd thing is that it only seems to
fail when the current directory is mounted via the network
_and_ when it's being started by clicking on a file whose
filetype is associated with the application.

Running the program from the command line (cmd.exe or bash)
always works for any current directory. Running the program by
cliking on a shortcut icon on the desktop always works for any 
'start in' directory.

The one case that doesn't work is when its run by clicking on
an associated file on a network drive.
