[New-bugs-announce] [issue39262] Unused error message in _sharedexception_bind

[Alex Henrie]

New submission from Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24 at gmail.com>:

The function _sharedexception_bind currently has the following bit of code in two places:

    if (PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_MemoryError)) {
        failure = "out of memory copying exception type name";
    }
    failure = "unable to encode and copy exception type name";

The "out of memory" message will never appear because it is immediately overwritten with a more generic message.
