[issue4804] Python on Windows disables all C runtime library assertions

[Mark Hammond]

Mark Hammond <mhammond at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I created bug 5116 with a patch to expose CrtSetDebugMode via the msvcrt
module.  I didn't attach it to this patch as it doesn't address the
fundamental point in this bug, just offers a workaround to reinstate the
default if desired.  If there *was* agreement to change Python so only
the test suite disabled the CRT reports, then such a change could
probably now be implemented in .py code using the patch in bug 5116.
