(string-append bash "/bin/sh") rather.)

Are you looking at the subprocess.py that=E2=80=99s actually mentioned in t=
he
gobject-introspection backtrace?

If yes, then it likely means that it=E2=80=99s the caller=E2=80=93i.e., som=
e .py file in
gobject-introspection=E2=80=93that=E2=80=99s passing /bin/sh somewhere.  Ca=
n you check
the files mentioned in the backtrace?

HTH,
