`test_handling_bad_descriptor` fails on macos 10.14

[sobolevn]

I am trying to run test_pathlib locally on my machine. One test fails:

My macos version: 10.14.x
Python is built with: ./configure --with-pydebug && make

Looks like something is off, I will try to investigate and send a PR.

This is not just about tests:

It fails in runtime too.

Looks like this is specific to my machine. I cannot reproduce it on my other mac.
