We have found that http://bugs.python.org/issue11849 affects a number of our Python 2.7 systems in production. I took the changes in http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/f8a697bc3ca8 and backported them to the head of the python 2.7 cpython hg branch. I have verified that these changes fix the problem and that all tests pass.

Please see the attached patch.

It seems you actually want the second patch on that issue not the first.

Ahh, didn't see the "better resolution" patch later in the issue. I've updated the Python 2.7 patch here accordingly.
