removed large-input test as it is totally dependent on the subprocess implementation in the end whether pipeing large input works. In general , input and output pipes are used, the shell is bypassed, hence there is no reason for a problem unless we are on a very rare platform. And if so, we can't do anything about it so why should there be a possibly failing test ? Problem is that the test would fail on windows in case it is not installed on c:\windows
