[issue1541] Bad OOB data management when using asyncore with select.poll()

[Josiah Carlson]

Josiah Carlson <josiahcarlson at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

While handle_expt() is documented has only being called when OOB data is 
known, it has become the catch-all for "something strange is happening 
on the socket".

The reason it wasn't changed/fixed in Python 2.6 is because a new method 
would need to be added, which would break previously existing asyncore-
derived applications.

I might still be able to fix it for 3.0 .
