Fw: [issue22167] iglob() has misleading documentation (does indeed store names internally)

[Tim Chase]

Has anybody else been getting unexpected/unsolicited emails from the
Python bug-tracker?

I'm not associated with (didn't submit/lurk/follow/sign-up-for) this
bug or its notifications but somehow I'm getting messages on this
particular issue.  I've now received two notifications (both on this
same bug) coming to my custom Python Bugs email address.  When I
check the issue's page, I'm not on the Nosy list so I don't really
have a good way to unfollow because it doesn't think I'm following it.

I *am* in the Python Bugs DB associated with other issues, I'm just
confused how I ended up attached to this bug.  Anybody else either
receiving unsolicited bug notifications or happen to know how/why I'm
getting these?

Thanks,

Unfortunately issue25596 didn't change anything about this issue.
iglob() still stores names (actually DirEntry objects) of all files
in a directory before starting yielding the first of them. Otherwise
we cold exceed the limit of open file descriptors.
