test_memory_leaks.TestProcessObjectLeaksZombie.test_ionice_set() fails

[Arfrever]

test_memory_leaks.TestProcessObjectLeaksZombie.test_ionice_set() fails.
This problem seems to occur only with Python 3.4.
I use Linux 3.16.3.

$ PYTHONPATH="build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4" python3.4 test/test_memory_leaks.py

Does it fail from time to time or every time? I'm asking because test_memory_leaks.py script is not fully reliable: it sometimes produces false positives.

[Arfrever]

The failure occurs every time when running test suite of psutil by Portage (Gentoo package manager).

This test failure no longer occurs for me.
