[Duplicity-tracker] [bug #21792] pipe call fails with an error OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

[Kenneth Loafman]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #21792 (project duplicity):

I found this on http://pexpect.sourceforge.net 

"Generally Pexpect works on OS X, but the nature of the quirks cause a many
of the tests to fail. See bugs (Incomplete Child Output). The problem is more
than minor, but Pexpect is still more than useful for most tasks. The problem
is an edge case."

Duplicity uses Pexpect to drive the ssh processes.  I attached a patch to
this that may help.  For some reason we were forcing the termination of the
child during scp, but not during sftp.  This closes that gap.
