Public bug reported:

I am using some very old installation of Zope server with its own
archaic Python. Under new kernel (3.13.0-59-generic #98~precise1-Ubuntu
SMP Fri Jul 24 21:05:34 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) any
call of os.system in this Python fails with error code 139 (SIGSEV),
under previous kernels (until 3.13.0-58) it worked OK:

$ /opt/zope/bin/python
Python 2.1.3 (#1, Sep 19 2002, 13:15:46)
[GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.system('pwd')
139
>>>

Obviously I am not sure whether the source of the problem is kernel or
not, all I know then after rebooting with older kernel my application
works all right, when rebooting with 3.13.0-59 it crashes on those
failed os.system calls.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit.
