See Bug 2804 which demonstrated a reproducible hang on Windows, Linux and Mac
from the subprocess .wait() method, and a work around.

Bio.Application may suffer from the same problem, and could be fixed with the
same approach.  Patch to follow ...

Ideally we'd have a suitable unit test covering this - perhaps using
Bio.EMBOSS?
