[issue16903] subprocess.Popen.communicate with universal_newlines=True doesn't accept strings on 3.2

[Jeremy Kloth]

Jeremy Kloth added the comment:

I would suggest that this be bumped to release blocker as currently passing bytes to communicate with universal_newlines=True on Windows causes the process to hang (see issue17077).

The backported test case passes on Windows without any changes to subprocess.py so this is a POSIX-only bug.
