+ port_to_use

There are some whitespace errors around the above.

+ Working around a race in Python 2.4's implementation of Popen().

Huh?  This doesn't look right.  We either need a more detailed comment or to call the API in another way that avoids the race.  This just looks like it will be buggy.  Maybe we need to call wait() at some point?  We do something similar in webkit-patch somewhere.

The rest of the patch LGTM.  Maybe land the rest and re-visit the Popen issue later?

I added a comment with a pointer to the python bug ( http://bugs.python.org/issue1199282 ). Note that the bug is fixed in Python 2.5.

You can't work around it, and the windows port won't work reliably without this. I've needed to use this workaround several times in the chromium.org codebase .

Clearly we need unit testing.  Most of these could have been caught by unit tests.

OK though.

Tests for the tests!  Where does the madness end?
