[issue12098] Child process running as debug

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali <neologix at free.fr> added the comment:

Under Linux, child processes are created with fork(), so they're run with the exact same environment as the parent process (among which sys.flags.optimize).
I don't know Windows at all, but since I've heard it doesn't have fork(), my guess is that the command-line is constructed before creating the child process, and maybe the -O command line argument is lost.
Just a guess.
