[issue46335] asyncio.create_subprocess_exec throws RuntimeError yet still executes subprogram

[Clint Olsen]

Clint Olsen <clint.olsen at gmail.com> added the comment:

In a multi-user environment, you should not expect to be able to spawn infinite processes. In some cases system administrators have reduced the thresholds to values that guarantee a machine is still responsive under heavy load. See limits.conf(5) as an example.

I just used ulimit to synthesize this situation.

Does this make sense?
