Summary: test_time fails on Sparc64
Initial Comment:
On Solaris8, with the WS6U1 compiler, after setting CC
to 'cc -xarch=v9', test_time.py fails with
File "Lib/test/test_time.py", line 46, in test_mktime
time.mktime, (999999, 999999, 999999, 999999,
File
"/vol/marvin-vol8/loewis/python/dist/src/Lib/unittest.py",
line 273, in failUnlessRaises
raise self.failureException, excName
AssertionError: OverflowError
The problem is that the test doesn't overflow. Instead,
it gives the value 34214554704339.0.

Raised priority and changed Group to 2.2.1 candidate. We
can't assume that time_t is too feeble to represent the
date being tested, and Barry should rework the test so that
it doesn't fail on 64-bit boxes (I recall that he wanted to
test *something* here for Mailman's purposes, so it's up to
him to figure out what he really wants -- testing that the
platform has a feeble time_t ain't it).

Assigned to Barry, since Tim assigned #538369 to Barry.

This was reported for alpha as well, as #538369.
