[Python-Dev] 2.3 maint: test_poll fails on OSX

[Jack Jansen]

With the current state of the 2.3 maintenance branch test_poll fails:

   File "/Volumes/Vuur/Users/jack/src/python-23/Lib/test/test_poll.py", 
line 171, in ?
     test_poll1()
   File "/Volumes/Vuur/Users/jack/src/python-23/Lib/test/test_poll.py", 
line 65, in test_poll1
     poll_unit_tests()
   File "/Volumes/Vuur/Users/jack/src/python-23/Lib/test/test_poll.py", 
line 77, in poll_unit_tests
     r = p.poll()
error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')

This also looks legitimate to me: the test goes to great lengths to 
make sure it's passing an invalid file descriptor to poll(). But I 
assume there's something deeper going on that I don't understand...
