I've just made http://bugs.python.org/issue7673 a release blocker too, I'm afraid. It's a potential security vulnerability in the audioop module. (CVE-2010-2089)

At least, Fedora consider it as a security vulnerability:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598197

I agree because the crash is caused by the input data.

It's got a reviewed patch, and is ready to be committed

Thanks because my first patch was incomplete :-)

but if you're not comfortable with fixing it this late then that's completely understandable.

In the worst case, a function rejects valid data. If I have to choose, I prefer to reject valid data than a security vulnerability. But audioop has tests and I don't think that my patch breaks anything :-)
