[New-bugs-announce] [issue1175] .readline() has bug WRT nonblocking files

[Alex Burr]

New submission from Alex Burr:

If you have made a file nonblocking using fcntl.fcntl, .readline() will
discard  the start of a line if you get EGAIN. It should attach the
partial line to the exception somehow - or at least warn the user.

I observe this on 2.3.5, but the same code exists in TRUNK
