Ok, I finally (think?) I discovered what happened with subprocesses .
The fact seems to be
that `sitecustomize.py` doesn't work with virtualenvs (at least under
certain conditions
...) . I used `pth` files and now I have more than 20 coverage data
files (which is great
;o)

Random thoughts :

  - Document in `coverage.py` docs that `sitecustomize.py` might not work with
    virtualenvs.
  - Investigate why this is happening .
  - Probably research whether this is a more general issue related to
    `virtualenv` .

Thnx Ned for your help .
