[New-bugs-announce] [issue9324] signal.signal(bogus_signal, handler) segfaults on Windows

[Dave Fugate]

New submission from Dave Fugate <dfugate at microsoft.com>:

Using Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59; 32-bit Intel) on 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2, python.exe (interactive sessions and files) crashes when it encounters the following snippet:
>>> import signal
>>> signal.signal(7, lambda a, b: None)

Note that Python doesn't crash if I substitute '7' with a valid Windows signal (e.g., '2').  Also, it seems that at least some invalid signal inputs (e.g., '0') generate the appropriate Python exception.
