    My Environment:
    
    OS: Windows 7 32bit
    Python: 2.7.3
    Review Board: 1.7.2
    Web Server: apache 2.2
    Clearcase:  clearcase 7.1.2
    
    I setup a Review Board server on Windows 7, and encountered a very strange problem,
    each time when others doing post-review, viewing diff, etc,cmd console window will prompt
    several times for cleartool command, It seems that each time Review Board calling cleartool,
    a console window will prompt up.  But on another Windows XP OS, no window will prompt up.
    
    Anyone also encounter the same kind of problem? and is there any way I can debug my RB server
    so that I can find out the root cause?
    
    Thanks!
    
    
    Later I found out that the cause, the problem is the code to call cleartool.exe in reviewboard\scmtools\clearcase.py,
    if add 'shell=True' paramter to all the subprocess.Popen(...), there will no annoying console window pop up.
