Tim (& others),
  Would this additional text be sufficient for the os.popen()
documentation?

	\strong{Note:} This function behaves unreliably under Windows
        due to the native implementation of \cfunction{popen()}.

  If someone cares to explain what's weird about it, that might be
appropriate as well, but I've never used this under Windows.
