[New-bugs-announce] [issue35247] test.test_socket.RDSTest.testPeek hangs indefinitely

[markmcclain]

New submission from markmcclain <mark at mcclain.xyz>:

test.test_socket.RDSTest.testPeek() can hang indefinitely. ThreadableTest attempts to ensure ordering of operations, but allows both the client and server to proceed without guaranteeing that the data is sent prior to the blocking attempt to peek at the socket's contents.

Either the test needs to make recvfrom non-blocking with a timeout/retry loop or ensure data is sent prior to allowing the server to proceed.
