before the listener was ready (on gentoo x86 buildslave).  This
caused the listener to not exit normally since nobody connected to it
(waited in accept()).  The exception was raised in the other thread
and the test failed.

This fix doesn't completely eliminate the race, but should make it
near impossible to trigger.  Hopefully it's good enough.

this file (the source) must be fixed.

Why isn't there a comment at the top saying the file is generated and
why are both the source and generated file checked in?  Bootstrap problem?

    OverflowError: regular expression code size limit exceeded

Otherwise the compiled code is gibberish, possibly leading at
least to wrong results or (as reported on c.l.py) internal
sre errors at match time.

I'm not sure how to test this.  SRE_CODE is a 2-byte type on
my box, and it's easy to create a regexp that causes the new
exception to trigger here.  But it may be a 4-byte type on
other boxes, and creating a regexp large enough to trigger
problems there would be pretty crazy.

Bugfix candidate.
