[issue7571] Change 'name' of Process - assertion failure if Unicode

New submission from Frank Millman : At the top of my program, I have 'from __future__ import unicode_literals'. I subclassed Process, and passed "name='test'" as an argument. I got the following traceback. Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:\junk\multiprocess\mp5.py", line 37, in

[issue6873] posix_lchown: possible overflow of uid, gid

Boya Sun added the comment: Gregory, I discovered this bug by static analysis, so I do not have a system that this bug is actually triggered. But I am happy to see the fix applied since this makes code safer. It would be great if anyone could write a test case that cause uid and gid to overf

[issue7561] Filename-taking functions in posix segfault when called with a bytearray arg.

Stefan Krah added the comment: I briefly looked at how PyByteArray_AS_STRING() is used in other places. A similar segfault can be provoked in long_new(): int(bytearray(b''), 10) Then, there are a couple of places where pointer arithmetic is used with the NULL pointer. Also, memcpy(x, NULL, 0)
