Actually, that run had two checkins; there was also 46755. But when I ``svn update -r46754`` it still fails on my OS X laptop. So still ain't my fault. =)

FYI, here's the minimal set of failing tests:
$ python_d ../Lib/test/regrtest.py test_file test_optparse
test_file
test_optparse
test test_optparse failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_optparse.py", line 1042, in
test_filetype_noexist
test_support.TESTFN)
File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_optparse.py", line 158, in assertParseFail
self.assertFalse("expected parse failure")
AssertionError

1 test OK.
1 test failed:
test_optparse
[23476 refs]
That also, using -w and -f, reproduces the bizarre HPPA behavior when
test_optparse is rerun in verbose mode (test_filetype_noexist passes
then, but test_version fails).
I have no idea why any of this is true, but there's good and bad news:
reverting rev 46757 does _not_ make the problem go away.

So you're
off the hook, but we don't know who to crucify in your place ;-)

As to why the failure only showed up recently, I'm not sure, but
test_file must run before test_optparse, and it looks like the problem
goes away if "too many"(!) other tests intervene. The Win2K buildbot
is unique in that test_file has been followed very soon by
test_optparse two builds in a row.
We don't have any mechanism in place to record when we find tests failing in a row to always run them in that order until we fix it, do we? Nor do we have a script to just continually check out older revisions in svn, compile, and test until the tests do pass, huh?
