[issue9010] Infinite loop in imaplib.IMAP4_SSL when used with Gmail

[Ruben Bakker]

Ruben Bakker <ruben.bakk...@gmail.com> added the comment:

I installed Python 2.7RC1 on Mac OS X 10.6.3 and tried my script and it
worked for me. Imaplib throws the right exception instead of looping
forever:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "imapmail/explore/test2.py", line 30, in f
    server.select("INBOX")
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py",
line 642, in select
    typ, dat = self._simple_command(name, mailbox)
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py",
line 1060, in _simple_command
    return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py",
line 890, in _command_complete
    raise self.abort('command: %s => %s' % (name, val))
imaplib.abort: command: SELECT => socket error: EOF

Call the f() function and then wait about about an hour. Call f() again and 
server.select() will not return but take all CPU.&quot;<br>
