[New-bugs-announce] [issue18175] os.listdir(fd) leaks fd on error

[Richard Oudkerk]

New submission from Richard Oudkerk:

If os.listdir() is used with an fd, but fdopendir() fails (e.g. if the the fd is a normal file) then a duplicated fd is leaked.

This explains the leaks in test_shutil mentioned in #18174.
