It was a mistake to check this in without confirming first that it actually
cured the problem.  In fact, the same failure still occurs when
test_logging's restoration of locale is removed:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_strptime
                                                      test_logging
                                                      test_time
test_strptime
test_logging
test_time
test test_time failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_time.py", line 49, in test_strptime
    self.fail('conversion specifier: %r failed.' % format)
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\unittest.py", line 260, in fail
    raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: conversion specifier: ' %c' failed.

2 tests OK.
1 test failed:
    test_time


The other failure mode has gone away (switching the order of the first two
tests), though:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_logging
                                                      test_strptime
                                                      test_time
test_logging
test_strptime
test_time
All 3 tests OK.


There's no more time for this, so anything more should wait for 2.3.1.
