New submission from Edward Yang <ezy...@mit.edu>:
When generating a backtrace from an interactive Python session (e.g. the input
is from <stdin>, Python attempts to actually find a file named <stdin>, to
somewhat hilarious consequences.
See the strace'd Python session below:
>>> foo
open("/etc/default/apport", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
open("<stdin>", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
