New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc:
The test created by 504084c04ac0 passes for bad reasons, at least for the
second part:
- "test.mutating" error handler is never used.
- If I replace the last line of the test, it still passes, but the TypeError is
raised by exc.object[:] = b"" (bytes are not mutable!)
I suggest to revert this old change completely. The premises ("the decoder
might use memory that's no longer in use") are no longer true.
