[New-bugs-announce] [issue5073] bsddb/test/test_lock.py sometimes fails due to floating point error

[Hirokazu Yamamoto]

New submission from Hirokazu Yamamoto <ocean-city at m2.ccsnet.ne.jp>:

time.time() returns floating point, so sometimes folloing assertion in 
LockingTestCase#test03_lock_timeout fails due to floating point 
calculation error.

>self.assertTrue((end_time-start_time) >= 0.1

end_time-start_time becomes 0.0999999046326 for instance. I ran 
test_lock.py 100 times after applied the attached patch, I saw no error.
