Comment 2 Petr Viktorin 2018-09-26 12:48:30 UTC 
As in Bug #1629978, while I'm sure the upstream patch is an improvement, I haven't checked if it addresses all instances of the underlying issue.

Comment 5 Victor Stinner 2018-11-21 13:56:18 UTC 
The fix doesn't add a new test. It's hard to reproduce the bug: it requires to get an I/O error on one specific C function. I suggest to only run sanity checks.
