Same problem here. However, checking the test code, it seems that what's happening is that even though the sending socket has been put into non-blocking mode, self.cli.sendto in the _testCongestion helper method invoked by the ThreadableTest base class [1] has *not* thrown OSError, and hence the finally clause setting the event has *not* been triggered, and hence the test is hanging.

Neither socket.py nor test_socket.py have changed recently though, so it seems to me that this is either a recent Fedora bug (where the socket is blocking when it shouldn't), or else a Fedora change that has uncovered a latent defect in the socket module code.
