New submission from Chris Blazick <blazin...@gmail.com>:

platform: Linux x86_64 (CentOS)
kernel: 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus
python version: 2.4.3
PyQt versin: 4.7.3

subprocess is generating a segmentation fault.

I am running a proprietary quicktime generating script inside my own (Qt) 
script using the subprocess module.  I am piping both stdout and stderr into my 
script.  I have tried reading these two with .communicate() and with the 
<Popen>.stdout / <Popen>.stderr properties.  Both end up generating the 
following error:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: corrupted double-linked list: 
0x00000000161c5c50 ***
Segmentation fault

running my script, and using os.system() to run the proprietary script works 
just fine

The (C++ compiled) proprietary script does not appear to have any problems 
crashing under normal circumstances, and I am assuming if there was a problem 
with the proprietary script, it wouldn't cascade to crashing my own script
