Summary: test_randpool.py fails on py2.4/winxp

Initial Comment:
I'm running python 2.4 on windows XP. I've followed the
instructions on
http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ to work
out how to create a windows installer, and I installed
it ont he same machine.

Running test_randpool.py with sancho 0.3 produces the
following error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Moof\My
Documents\Python\pycrypto-2.0\test>test_randpool.py
RandomPoolTest:
  check_get_bytes:
    not ok: self.pool.entropy > 0 not true (got False)
      failed at
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\sancho\unittest.py, line 275:
        return self.test_true(code, _level=2)
  check_init:
    not ok: self.pool.entropy != 1280 (got 0)
      failed at C:\Documents and Settings\Moof\My
Documents\Python\pycrypto-2.0test\test_randpool.py, line 23:
        self.test_val('self.pool.entropy', self.pool.bits) 
not ok: 8 tests run, 2 failed

I have no idea what is causing this, or how to fix it,
but I feel you should know anyway.
