+- Issue #11306: mailbox in certain cases adapts to an inability to open
+  certain files in read-write mode.  Previously it detected this by
+  checking for EACCES, now it also checks for EROFS.

 - Issue #11265: asyncore now correctly handles EPIPE, EBADF and EAGAIN errors
   on accept(), send() and recv().
