 The fix was applied upstream, on 2013-08-25 into the default (3.x), 3.3
 and 2.7 branches.
 
 The issue remains in the current port versions of Python (3.3.2 and 2.7.5)
 
 Python 3.3.2 (default, Oct 23 2013, 18:16:59)
 [GCC 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]] on freebsd9

 Traceback (most recent call last):

 The following describes what needs to occur:
 
 1) Local patches will need be maintained in python31 and python32, since
 those branches will not receive the fix upstream (security only)
 
 2) Local patches can/should be applied to python27 and python33, which
 can remain until their next versions are released.
 
 Also, upstream has requested a test be written for the submitted bug
