New submission from Benjamin Yolken: We have found that http://bugs.python.org/issue11849 affects a number of our Python 2.7 systems in production. I took the changes in http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/f8a697bc3ca8 and backported them to the head of the python 2.7 cpython hg branch. I have verified that these changes fix the problem and that all tests pass.
