Aha! That explains why test_subprocess runs so much faster on Windows
despite that Windows process-creation time is measured in geological
eras: test_no_leaking special-cases Windows to do only 65 iterations
instead of 1026. It's easy to put that under control of a -u option
instead; e.g., instead of
max_handles = 1026
if mswindows:
max_handles = 65
just use 1026 all the time, and stuff, e.g.,
if not test_support.is_resource_enabled("subprocess"):
return
at the start of test_no_leaking().
