Software versions:
Python: 3.7.2
FreeBSD: 12.0-RELEASE r341666
Psutil: 5.5.0

Trying to use psutil.Popen() leads to the Python interpreter crashing on FreeBSD 12.

For example, trying to start the echo executable leads to the result below:

If I try to start wget, the interpreter doesn't crash right away sometimes. A stack trace is also sometimes printed (I had to try this on Python 3.6 to trigger it):

Interesting. As for the first issue, what happens if you use subprocess.Popen("echo") instead?

Sorry for the late reply...

It works as it should!

@TiberiuD I pushed 842a505 which I think it should fix the problem. Could you please give it a try?

I assume this is fixed. Closing.
