[Python-Dev] Overflow in socketmodule.c?

Yes. With some luck (e.g. on x86 with gcc), it might not cause buffer
overruns, as a) the compiler overallocates on the stack because of
padding, anyway, and b) the overwriting might write into the next
variable (i.e. retval), which is uninitialized at this point, anyway.
