Related issue on OpenBSD that proposes a patch catching the exception and skipping the test : https://bugs.python.org/issue25191 . I propose closing either of these as duplicate. It seems the PR 9178 was added to the issue by mistake and is not related to this issue.

Thanks

PR-9178 was for bpo-31608. I corrected the PR and unlinked it from here.

This is a duplicate of bpo-25191, with proposed patch. bpo-37945 is the same issue for Windows, with extensive discussion.
