Richard Cooper added the comment: I think I was just bitten by the non-SSL version of this bug on Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863) on Mac OS 10.5. It manifested itself as a "malloc error: can't allocate region" while downloading a message using imaplib.
As suggested by effbot I changed "data = self._sock.recv(recv_size)" to "data = self._sock.recv(min(recv_size, 16384))" in both places that line appears in socket.py. Making that change fixed the problem for me. Note that http://bugs.python.org/issue1092502 seems to be a duplicate of this issue. That issue contains a slightly different fix proposed by a_lauer, which I've not tried. ---------- nosy: +rich _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1389051> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
