This should be fixed in r54844. The problem was that the availability
of the urlfetch resource wasn't being checked early enough and so
test_support.run_suite() was converting the ResourceDenied exception
into a TestError instance. This wasn't showing up on other machines
since the urlfetch'd files weren't being cleaned out between test
runs.
