[New-bugs-announce] [issue22015] C signal handler doesn't save/restore errno

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

The signal module has a wakefd feature which calls write(fd) in a signal handler, but the signal handler replaces errno without saving/restoring it.

See "Practice 4" in this article:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-reent/index.html

Attached patch fixes the issue for Python 3.5. The bug should be fixed in Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5.
