socket.py includes this comment around line 125:

# These classes are used by the socket() defined on 
Windows and BeOS
# platforms to provide a best-effort implementation of 
the cleanup
# semantics needed when sockets can't be dup()ed.
#
# These are not actually used on other platforms.

This appears to be incorrect. It appears that behavior 
is the same on different OSes (other than the riscos 
sleeptaskw function and Windows WSA error codes).

Thanks for reporting, this was already fixed in rev. 43746/7.
