[New-bugs-announce] [issue19284] subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() mishandles -R

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

Trying to provoke the buildbot failure from issue 16129 I was puzzled as to why setting PYTHONHASHSEED was behaving strangely.

The subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() helper used by test.support (and multiprocessing) misbehaves when PYTHONHASHSEED is set to a specific value: whatever the seed is, it repeats the 'R' in -R that many times (the helper appears to assume that the only flag with a value greater than 1 will be '-v')
