Trying to start a new process crashes the Python interpreter on FreeBSD 12 #1411

Description

@TiberiuD

Software versions:
Python: 3.7.2
FreeBSD: 12.0-RELEASE r341666
Psutil: 5.5.0

Trying to use psutil.Popen() leads to the Python interpreter crashing on FreeBSD 12.

For example, trying to start the echo executable leads to the result below:

If I try to start wget, the interpreter doesn't crash right away sometimes. A stack trace is also sometimes printed (I had to try this on Python 3.6 to trigger it):
