[issue17085] test_socket crashes the whole test suite

[Etienne Robillard]

Etienne Robillard added the comment:

since TIPC is silently included in python 2.7.3 and recents kernel memory
leaks were found in the linux TIPC kernel code, could this result in info disclosure in python when compiled with TIPC ? does the kernel module needs to be loaded to exploit the memleaks from within python ?
