I've removed the offending test in r51794 and buildbots should be
happy again.

One of the ways of exploring the issue reported is using sys.stdout
as the stdout keyword, such as:

   subprocess.call([...], stdout=sys.stdout)

it breaks because it ends up closing one of the standard descriptors
of the subprocess.

Unfortunately we can't test it that way because buildbot uses a
StringIO in sys.stdout.

I kept the test which uses stdout=1, and removed the one expecting
sys.stdout to be a "normal" file.

Sorry for the trouble,
