[issue1068268] subprocess is not EINTR-safe

Ralf Schmitt added the comment:

In normal application code that signal.alarm is called for a reason. And
the caller most probably expects it to interrupt the read calls. So I
think the proposed patch is wrong. 

What was the signal interrupting the read calls? maybe SIGPIPE?
