  Patch #1019808 from Federico Schwindt: Return correct socket error when
  a default timeout has been set, by using getsockopt() to get the error
  condition (instead of trying another connect() call, which seems to be
  a Linuxism).

  2.5 bugfix candidate, assuming no one reports any problems with this change.

  Fixes issue1336 - a race condition could occur when forking if the gc
  kicked in during the critical section.  solution: disable gc during
  that section.  Patch contributed by jpa and updated by me to cover the
  race condition still existing what therve from twistedmatrix pointed
  out (already seen and fixed in twisted's own subprocess code).

  Undo an unnecessary else: and indentation that r60104 added.

  try:
    ...
  except:
    ...
    raise
  else:
    ...

  the else: is unecessary due to the blind except: with a raise.

  Fix zipfile decryption.  The check for validity only worked on one
  type of encrypted zip files.  Files using extended local headers
  needed to compare the check byte against different values.  (according
  to reading the infozip unzip crypt.c source code)

  Fixes issue1003.
