Configuration:
    WinNT 4.00.1381
    IE 5.500.2314.1003
    MSVC 6.0
    Dual Xeon processors (500Mhz?)
    Python CVS as of this morning
    

Failures:
    test_mmap
    test_winreg
    test_winreg2
    test_popen2


*** test_mmap:

Fredrik (Win65, MSVC 5.0) tells me he gets the same failure but with a
different error code.


*** test_popen2

C:\trentm\tmp\python\dist\src\PCbuild>python ..\Lib\test\test_popen2.py
testing popen2...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "..\Lib\test\test_popen2.py", line 22, in ?
    main()
  File "..\Lib\test\test_popen2.py", line 20, in main
    popen2._test()
  File "C:\trentm\tmp\python\dist\src\lib\popen2.py", line 148, in _test
    assert r.read() == teststr
AssertionError


I haven't looked at this one.


*** test_winreg

C:\trentm\tmp\python\dist\src\PCbuild>python ..\Lib\test\regrtest.py test_winreg
test_winreg
test test_winreg failed -- Unread: '\012'
1 test failed: test_winreg

This is just failing because Lib/test/output/test_winreg has one blank line
at the end that it should not. I am going to checkin a fix soon (if I can
remember how, seeing as I let everyone else checkin all my previous patches
:)


*** test_winreg2

C:\trentm\tmp\python\dist\src\PCbuild>python ..\Lib\test\regrtest.py
test_winreg2
test_winreg2
test test_winreg2 failed -- Writing: ' ', expected: ''

This is funny I was getting a more serious crash before. So was Fredrik.
