Brian: I applied the draft 18 patch to the latest version of /branches/py3k (77592). I compiled the release x64 build and ran a few tests using the following syntax:

PS C:\Users\jaraco\projects\public\python-core-py3k> .\pcbuild\amd64\python .\lib\test\test_glob.py

I found one failure in test_platform and 6 failures in test_posixpath, but no failures in the other modules you mentioned. Also, the failure in test_posixpath I'm seeing is different in nature from what you failure report indicates.

Can you reconsider if you may have missed some detail of the patch, as I seem to be unable to recreate the bulk of the issues you encountered. It seems Eric and I are getting similar results. I'm attaching the failures output from the tests as I encountered them.
