Acting as upstream developer for the program, I have prepared a new
version that (among other changes) uses the ‘subprocess’ module, and
its sanitised argument handling, for all child process interactions.

This could have unforeseen effects. Could you please test the upstream
0.4.5 version from <URL:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/burn/0.4.5> and
make sure it works for all your use cases?
