Some observations:

If I replace the call to sys.stderr.write with a simple print, then I get a single asterisk. Is sys.stderr.write() perhaps buffered?

Call it with "python -u" and it is unbuffered: """-u : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr (also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x)"""

Unbuffered output results in a single child and a single asterisk. Thanks to Bill and Daryl for the info -- I'll read the fine manual next time :-) -- Marcus
