Okay, we have a potential showstopper for the betas today.  All the  
3.0 buildbots are bloody red:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/stable/

Running the tests locally on OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 8.04 confirm that  
the tests hang after test_xmlrpc.  The tests are uninterruptible.

I hereby give permission to any dev with commit privileges to checkin  
a fix, or back out the offending revision.  I will be off-line for  
about 3 more hours and if this can't be fixed by then, we will have to  
postpone the releases.

Once I'm back, I'll be on #python-dev @ freenode.

Thanks to Benjamin and Alexandre for helping me get through the  
current crop of release critical issues today.
