[New-bugs-announce] [issue46709] test_urllib: testInterruptCaught() has a race condition and fails randomly

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

test_urllib failed and then passed when re-run on s390x RHEL7 Refleaks 3.x:
https://buildbot.python.org/all/#builders/129/builds/300

I can reproduce the issue on my Linux laptop:

$ ./python -m test -m unittest.test.test_break.TestBreakDefaultIntHandler.testInterruptCaught test_unittest -F
