[New-bugs-announce] [issue30763] There is functionality bug in linecache library.

New submission from Yang Xiao:

There is a functionality bug in linecache library.

>>test.py<<
import linecache

def test_getline(f):
    print linecache.getlines(f)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    tf1 = 'aaa'
    with open(tf1,'w') as f:
        f.write('good morning\n')
    test_getline(tf1)

    tf2 = 'bbb'
    with open(tf2,'w') as f:
        f.write('good evening\n')
    test_getline(tf2)

    tf1 = 'aaa'
    with open(tf1,'w') as f:
        f.write('good morning 123\n')
    test_getline(tf1)

    tf2 = 'bbb'
    with open(tf2,'w') as f:
        f.write('good evening 123\n')
    test_getline(tf2)

The expectant output shoule be:
['good morning\n']
['good evening\n']
['good morning\n']
['good evening\n']

However, the script above outputs below:
['good morning\n']
['good evening\n']
['good morning\n']
['good evening\n']

I think there is a bug about implementation of linecache library.
