Got a final patch yet?  If you don't have commit privs I can do it.

I'm seeing issues right now in the fedora build system like this:

100      21961  0.0  0.2 71848 5232 ?        S    14:46   0:00 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/mock -r fedora-3-x86_64-core --arch x86_64 --resultdir=/mnt/build/builder_work/b798c880f2
100      22916  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        Z    14:48   0:00 [sh] <defunct>

[hammer1 ~]# strace -p 21961
Process 21961 attached - interrupt to quit
read(153,  <unfinished ...>
Process 21961 detached
[hammer1 ~]#

which I think could be avoided by not using commands.getstatusoutput().  Not sure though.  Any other thoughts?
