 this comes from the use of wait() in marshal.py...
 stdout or stderr's buffer gets full and things hang until somebody frees
 up
 space by reading from them.  use subprocess.communicate() instead, but
 then
 you've got a different problem, as you can't set a timer and set a SIGALRM
 handler
 in windows.  Maybe do this with a couple of threads?
