[issue21619] Cleaning up a subprocess with a broken pipe

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Here is a patch to fix this by calling wait() even if stdin.close() fails, including a test case. With my patch, the subprocess context manager __exit__() will still raise a BrokenPipeError, but no zombie will be left.
