Steve Dower added the comment:

#4804 has most of the prior discussion, but here's some code that will cause 
the process to terminate:

import os
os.close(3)

The instant termination rather than OSError is why _PyVerify_fd exists at all, 
and that's only there because when the behaviour was disabled globally users 
complained (#3545 and #4804).

You are correct that _PyVerify_fd is used in more places where it should be 
updated (specifically _io/fileio.c and fileutils.c). It only makes sense where 
it's protecting a call into a CRT function though, so not all of these places 
should be changed. I'll make updates.

This is why I beg for reviews - I know that I'll miss things :)
