Follow-up Comment #1:

Good catch and thank you for the patch.

A fix should probably go to stable.

For context: This is in a function that is only used on Windows.

I'm wondering why we aren't using the "execute" module of gnulib:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/execute.h

Afaics, they are using almost identical code but included a bunch of other
fixes that are missing in our copy.

I'll try if we could use their function instead (probably on the default
branch) if I come around to it.
