I left a comment on that ticket forwarding the straightforward fix that can
be applied to BuildBot to address this problem.

It's certainly true that there are shortcomings in the spawnProcess API so
I won't try to argue that this *isn't* a problem in Twisted.  However, some
of those very problems make it difficult to *fix* any of the problems.  It
seems more likely that spawnProcess will eventually be replaced by a better
API (if the problems are ever fixed at all, that is).  Meanwhile, since the
fix in BuildBot is quite simple, that seems like a good direction to pursue.
