[New-bugs-announce] [issue7318] multiprocessing should not wait endlessly

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

SocketClient() in multiprocessing.connection loops endlessly when the
connection is refused. It shouldn't, and instead use a timeout.
This is especially annoying since SocketClient() can be called as part
of finalizing an object, which makes debugging very annoying (see
issue7060).
