Zachary Ware killed the test_socket process manually, he owns the buildbot and so has access to it.

The failing build was triggered by the commit 834a5cecac0e77e907762611c06fa460545487e7. Maybe it's related?

Hum, the test passed the following 17 builds.

New failure:

I guess that Zachary killed again the process.

Zach: Next time, try to send a SIGUSR1 since regrtest installs a signal handler for this signal, to dump the Python traceback. SIGUSR1 doesn't stop the process, it only dumps the traceback. You should send a following SIGINT/SIGTERM to stop the process. But I never tried this, I don't know if it works.

regrtest should do this automatically after TIMEOUT seconds: bpo-30884.

I didn't see the failure recently. I close the issue.
