The last run on your Win2K slave that got beyond the compile step:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/x86%20W2k%20trunk/builds/16/step-test/0

Looks like it was running test_bsddb at the time, and the test
framework gave up after waiting 20 minutes for more output.  I had one
of those "recently" that waited 20 minutes for output after starting
test_shelve, but it's scrolled off the page.  Berkeley DB is fishy. 
Looks like the buildbot doesn't know how to kill a process on Windows
either (SIGKILL sure ain't gonna do it ;-)).

The good news is that at least we're not seeing the random segfaults
plaguing the Mac slave :-)
