[New-bugs-announce] [issue40913] time.sleep ignores errors on Windows

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

In time.sleep on Windows, if the WaitForSingleObject call fails, the call returns success. It essentially looks like the timeout was 0.

Errors should be highly unlikely, as the event object is leaked (see issue40912), but if they _do_ occur, we should raise them.
