The following test leaks 5 open handles when checking for leaks using my PR 7827:

test.test_multiprocessing_spawn.WithProcessesTestProcess.test_many_processes

Command to reproduce the leak (using my PR 7827):

python -m test -R 3:3 test_multiprocessing_spawn -m test.test_multiprocessing_spawn.WithProcessesTestProcess.test_many_processes

It seems like Popen of multiprocess.popen_spawn_win32 has a race condition. If the child process is killed in the parent using terminate() before the child process "steals" rhandle, rhandle remains open. I wrote the PR 7921 to fix it.

Python 2.7 is not affected: it doesn't use DuplicateHandle() with DUPLICATE_CLOSE_SOURCE.

I was decided to only fix the bug in the master branch, since it's a minor bug (leak a few handles in a rare case), whereas the backport can introduce regressions.
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/7921#issuecomment-400612321

The bug has been fixed in the master branch, I close the issue.

Sorry for the commit/revert in the 3.7 branch, it's an issue with miss-inlington bot (and also my fault!).
