On OpenBSD I'm seeing intermittent failures of test_httpservers with the
following error:

test_post (test.test_httpservers.CGIHTTPServerTestCase) ... ERROR

======================================================================
ERROR: test_post (test.test_httpservers.CGIHTTPServerTestCase)

error: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call

Rerunning the test by itself always passes; maybe a SIGCHLD is
interrupting the recv() call.

Anyway, EINTR is a recoverable error - the socket code should probably
retry the read.

The EINTR issue should be fixed in trunk (issue1628205). Have you by
any chance run the test suite on trunk in the meantime?

This was fixed in the other bug in 2.6 and 2.7.
