[Zope] popen hangs on W2K

Hi!

popen3() of the python (2.1.2) which comes with zope hangs on W2K:

(stdin, stdout, stderr)=popen3('wvWare -x wvware.xml foo.doc')
text=stdout.read()

--> read never ends.

It works if wvware produces few output, but with larger files it hangs 
(0% CPU usage).

wvware is a binary from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net

Platform: Windows 2000 SP2

Has someone seen this problem before?
