Hmm, asmodean gets through the tests now.

  3 tests failed:
      test_fcntl test_resource test_struct

I assume test_resource is the problem you were talking about. The
other two, thus:

test_struct

  [ 22:10 ] - ./python ../python/dist/src/Lib/test/test_struct.py
  trying: xcbhilfd
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "../python/dist/src/Lib/test/test_struct.py", line 83, in ?
      raise TestFailed, "unpack/pack not transitive (%s, %s)" % (

test_fcntl

  [ 22:15 ] - ./python ../python/dist/src/Lib/test/regrtest.py -s test_fcntl
  test_fcntl
  test test_fcntl crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno 22] Ogiltigt argument
  1 test failed:
      test_fcntl
  [ 22:16 ] - LC_ALL="C" ./python ../python/dist/src/Lib/test/regrtest.py -s test_fcntl
  test_file
  1 test OK.
  [ 22:16 ] - locale
  LANG=POSIX
  LC_CTYPE="sv_SE"
  LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE"
  LC_TIME="sv_SE"
  LC_COLLATE="sv_SE"
  LC_MONETARY="sv_SE"
  LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE"
  LC_ALL=sv_SE

I suppose the test should set its locale, so it's not dependent on
what is set in the shell.

The original hang that made me remove it from the xenofarm project
queue. All the alphas are short on RAM and have OOM-killers, so it
might be that some parent process was slain, leaving dangling kids
around. I'll reintroduce it and see if it hangs again.
